Nothing SO over as Xmas

My Daddy always said, "There is nothing so over as Christmas, with all the decorations to take down"!   Well, the time for my Christmas Cactus blooms seems to be coming to an end, too.

Here is a kaleidoscope image, that I created to remind us how lovely this cactus flower can be. 

My husband sees praying mantis-like men in the greenery! frown  But, then , so do I sadfrown

Well done.  I like the colors and patterns.  Neat effect.  What program did you use to create this?

It was a kaleidoscope plugin...I think from Menhdi.  It wouldn't plug into ps 's...so I remembered that I still had it in elements.  So I opened the photo in ps elements.

I think the unusual is my forte...  I love to find or create images, that are out of the ordinary.   But, then, I take photos of EVERYTHING!  So, some would have to be unusual...frown

Allen, here is the program site...    I love this app. I cannot get it to work in PS CC, but it works fine in my PS Elements.  It's called kaleidoscope by Mehdi  http://www.mehdiplugins.com/english/kaleidoscope.htm
