I really like the flames and the sparkly trail. How'd you do them? I'm guessing a gradient fill or filter thingie or a swatch for the rainbow colour on the flames, but how'd you make the trail look like it glows?

Excellent mousework. The common mouse is seriously underrated!

ya the flames are a fractal that I stole part of. then I duplicated the layer and filled that with a random colored cloud. (I use the gimp not photoshop BTW). The glow, I just duplicated another layer, put it behind the others and expanded it a little then feathered my selection and filled it with whatever color I want. Then if I want I can change the opacity and layer mode of the glow to make it fit.

That's ok emersongreen. Next time.
Esoteric, I PMed you.

We'll if everything goes well I'll hopefully be entering next month too. Definitely using Photoshop this time, though... hmm... unless I size it down to about 100 x 100 pixels before I start colouring... :lol:
