I am posting a day early as I will be away tomorrow. This week's challenge is fun, quick, and easy as it involves installing an Action to get the effect! We are using the Kaleidoscope action from Mike's Photoshop Actions. You will have the choice to run the action on either a high or low resolution image. Before beginning crop your image into a square. Then run the action......it will stop to tell you to load an image or continue....you want to continue if you already have opened and cropped your image. When the little wedge appears use the transform handles that will appear to position the part of your image that you want to be incorporated into the design. If you need help loading your action check out this link. Here are some before and after examples: BeforeAfterBefore

Oh I really like this action Helen - thank you for bringing this to our attention through this wonderful challenge. I am sure we will get some wonderful variations and creations! Here is my attempt; the only thing I added is an outer glow.

This is so much fun! I just had to do another one.
- Created a "Cubes" effect using Filter Forge. - Ran the action. - Applied Topaz Glow.

Went for a double kaleidoscope. Would you mind if I ask how you got the fluted edge to this one please Sepiana...It's really lovely... EDIT: I think I figured it out but in case I got it wrong I'm still interested in what you did...thanks.

Finding the right photo to use with this is the hardest thing I find...but maybe that's just me...lol. I added a very fine inner glow...

It all started with this flower effect I had created some time ago.
