It's almost Christmas again!

It probably won't be much of anything special this year at my house, but I did get out and look at the lights on the houses last night, they had some really pretty and also newly styled decorations. I especially liked the frosty reindeer, very statuesque, rearing up on it's hind legs. Never saw anything quite like that before.

I also noted some purplish colored lights, along with everything from the old-fashsoined big lights to the 'icesicle' effect that was so popular a few years ago.

I no longer have access to Photoshop CS4 but luckily have a copy of version 7 to use. The downside is that so many brushes and actions are not compatible. The upside is that Photoshop 7 doesn't seem to be all that different, in it's essentials, than the later versions. And by use of plugins you can get many of the same effects.

Below are a few Plz's for the season!
