Scattered Shapes

This tutorial was written by me on 4/14/2014.  Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.

Supplies
Paint Shop Pro (I'm using version 9, but this should work in other versions.)
Tube of choice.  I'm using one by Jasmine Becket-Griffith under license from CILM.  You can now purchase her tubes at CDO.  Please do not use her artwork without a license.
Preset Shapes of Choice
Mura's Meister Copies
Alien Skin Eye Candy 5: Impact - Perspective Shadow (optional)
Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow (optional)

1.  Open a new canvas 600 x 250.
2.  Paste your tube as a new layer.
3.  Apply Mura's Meister Copies>Wallpaper Rotate with the default settings.  (If your tube is smaller, you may want to apply it again to make sure your canvas is filled.)

4.  Adjust>Blur>Radial Blur with the following settings.

5.  Set your foreground to null and your background color to a color from your tube.
6.  Draw a small preset shape as a vector.  (I chose a star.)
7.  Objects>Align>Center in canvas
8.  Convert to raster layer.
9.  Effects>Mura's Meister>Copies Wallpaper Perspective with the following settings.

10.  Add a drop shadow of your choice.  I used the following settings.

 
11.  Change your foreground color to a different color from your tube and draw another shape of your choice.  (I chose a circle this time.  You can use the same shape if you like.)  Place this shape somewhere near where your original shape is, but do not overlap it.
12.  Convert to raster layer and apply Copies again with the same settings.
13.  Drop shadow.
14. Repeat steps  11 - 13 with a different shape.
15.  Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.  Resize and position where you like.  I kept mine the original size and moved it to the right.
16.  Add a drop shadow.  I used Eye Candy 5:Impact>Perspective Shadow with the following settings.

17.  Add a new raster layer and flood fill with a color from your tube.
18.  Selections>Select All.
19.  Selections>Modify>Contract by 3 and hit delete on your keyboard.
20.  Add your copyrights and name.
21.  I applied Eye Candy 4000>Gradient Glow with a width of 3 and the fat preset to my name.
22.  Save as a JPEG or PNG.
