This family history website illustration features the Holiday Charms tubes. Easy to use and a good few options with some nice delicate motifs. I struggled a bit on how to use these nice tubes and in the end just went for draping them.
I drew 4 vectors on separate layers with a curved bottom and stretched the bottom of three so the drape would start and end in the same place but hang lower on each chain. I then used the Vector Tubes script to automate how they followed a vector shape changing the charm on each one. I erased the top half of each layer to remove charms I did not want to show. These may work better on a scrapbooking image as my images are quite small on my site, but I found the lighter the background the better and also added Gaussian Blur to help focus on the charms. I also added little flares to a couple and two rings for the chains to hang from. It will be up on the site at http://www.dowlingfamily.info on the 8th December only each year.
