For the finishing touches, I created a bitmap copy of the ellipse using the True Color (with no Alpha) option. I placed a duplicate ellipse in front of the bitmap and used Combine Shapes... Intersect Shapes to turn the bitmap into an elliptical shape. A Rounded Bevel was applied to the bitmap. A rectangle was added behind and a two color linear fill added using two gold like colors and a Point Frame 2 bevel added to the rectangle.

I applied Sean Sedwards' Spherical Mould plug-in (Available in the Xara Xone Shareware Page) to a smaller square bitmap of the snow scene to make the ornament hanging from the tree. The font is Arts and Crafts from P22 Foundry.

And this wraps up another year of Xara tutorials.

I hope you have enjoyed doing these tutorials as much as I have creating them for you. I would love to hear your comments and questions. Please use the feedback form on the next page to send me you comments and holiday greetings. I'm taking January off and will see you all in February 2005.
