400 x 400 square solid white background for this image.
You can use varies colors of solid backgrounds for application.
I used shapes from my paint program solid black with a bevel but you could make yours any color.
If you use Ulead's Photo Impact you can even play with your Z-Merge settings.
And the cross stitch works great on text too.
Just use different presets for each shape. ((Real easy to make these)). And the cross stitch filter can be used to make backgrounds. Was thinking they'd be adorable in a triple table background style.
