Pixeling fun

Every garden needs a bit of magic

Equip your Magic Wand

Use these settings...

Left click inside of the wide border.
Click on "Effects," "Reflection Effects," "Pattern"

Apply the settings above or click on the die beneath the right window and see if you find something you like better. In order to see the area that is being effected, you will need to maximize the window.

After you've found a pattern that you like, click OK
Then, right click on the patterned layer in your layer palette and "Promote selection to layer."
Delete the duplicated layer that was used to make the pattern (the second layer on your palette)
Close your bottom layer and use your Magic Wand to select the big empty space in the middle of your image.
Click on "Effects," 3D Effects," "Drop Shadow" and apply the settings that are stored there from before.
Click on "Effects," "3D Effects," "Drop Shadow" and change the Horizontal and Vertical settings to -8 as shown
