oh oh pick me

I'm not a guru by any means but having recently read:

Conjuring Speech/Thought Bubbles
Digg - fun with speech balloons

I suggest

- new layer
- elliptical marquee (M) -- be sure to select additive

-- click and drag
-- repeat for overlap

-- using polygonal lasso with negative selection cut the base flat

I'm not very path savvy so I would save the selection thusly:

I'll defer to the gurus on how to save a shape from a path:

because of the inane 4 image limit you'll "get to" click the image URL to view it manually. The web was designed to present LOTS of graphics and information and was NEVER intended for use via analog modem
