********************************

This was created using PSP9 but can be adapted for other versions of PSP.

********************************

For this one I had on the PRESET SHAPES tool ... Symmetric Shape (Star)
Number of Sides = 30
Radius = 15
Width = 2

I used a green gradient in the Materials foreground...
Drew the shape...
Converted to raster layer..
Added a drop shadow..

EFFECTS >>> 3D EFFECTS >>> DROP SHADOW
Vertical & Horizontal offsets = 2
Colour = Black
Opacity = 50
Blur = 2.00



Activated Raster 1

Flood filled with white

Activtated Raster 2

Selected the outer area with Magic Wand



SELECTIONS >>> MODIFY >>> EXPAND = 2

Activated Raster 1
Hit DELETE key

DESELECT



Still on Raster 1...

EFFECTS >>> TEXTURE EFFECTS >>> SCULPTURE
(You could use a 'sculpture pattern' that you have)



My result





For this one I had on the PRESET SHAPES tool ... Symmetric Shape (Star)
Number of Sides = 60
Radius = 5
Width = 2

I used a purple and blue gradient in the Materials foreground...
STYLE = Sunburst
Drew the shape...
Converted to raster layer..
Added a drop shadow..

EFFECTS >>> 3D EFFECTS >>> DROP SHADOW
Vertical & Horizontal offsets = 2
Colour = Black
Opacity = 50
Blur = 2.00


My result



Then I did a (minus) -150 degree TWIRL to both
( EFFECTS >>> DISTORTION EFFECTS >>> TWIRL)

Results




So.... you are not restricted just by your spirograph result,
you can use different effects for different results.

I suggest that once you create the Spirograph you're happy with, duplicate it
and experiment on the duplicated image.

I hope you found this interesting.
You could use this effect to create 'flower like shapes' for scrap images.
