Thank you so much! When I first started making templates I didn't take Seamless seriously, because once upon another time on another computer, I had Photoshop, and in comparison, Seamless is so dinky. But I never used the vector side of Photoshop. I had tried vectors on different application, but only to make certain complex shapes.... that then I would convert to bitmap and import into Photoshop. I don't have access to those applications at the moment. So working with vector layers has been quite the education.
I had been making templates for almost a year before I realized you could curve the lines. I used the script parentheses instead! Avoided the line tool because it never did what I wanted it to. Sigh. Worked through that. I still can't draw the way I want to, and know I'll have to move to another application, resurrect my graphics tablet, and/or scanner. But I'm still somehow enjoying surpassing the perceived limitations of Seamless, and making do with the shapes I can actually use. It's kind of like bonsai, I guess. I don't know. I'm not in a hurry and I'm still learning a lot.

Thanks so much! Now, this one I actually worked pretty hard on. I sketched some leaves earlier in the week, and I've been slowly adding to my leaf repertoire... getting away from those clip art leaves that come with Seamless ^_^
I need some more flowers, though.
