Mistletoe Borders

Just in time for the Winter Solstice for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere!

Our Summer in Australia has been topsy turvey and now the days will start to get shorter :(

Where I live there is little holly but yes we have mistletoe in abundance :)

These borders are all at 300 dpi .

Holly Overlay Tiles

Christmas seems to be approaching with speed :)
These tiles can be used to create borders or an overall pattern as fill.
The original tiles and their matching embossed overlays can be used seperately or together...and of course you can add plenty of other effects too :)

The Embossed Overlay Tiles
I usually use these with a blend mode of "overlay" or "soft light" but it is worth experimenting with various modes.The effect will vary significantly with different depths of colour in the layer below. For very light and very dark colours I duplicate the overlay.
