Contest 76: Sparkle it up

Now, I don't work in an office, but I have every sympathy for those who do. Such miserable, soulless places. This one's gone to the trouble of installing a Christmas tree, but there's nothing left in the budget for decorations.

Think we can liven it up a bit? High res is here.

Just a real quickie before I head off to work....

The guys in the office above decided to decorate the tree themselves before the real fun began!

They felt sorry for the turkey, so they invited him too!

Contest 76: Sparkle it up

Tremendous book, by the way. This is my first visit - and my first go at the Friday Challenge too. I figured that what this office needed was some snow, so I've filled the lift (elevator?) with it.

And in so doing, have learnt how to cast light on floors. Thanks!

William

Santa Caplin arrived to spread cheer just as his publicists party was in its final throws.

I took the easy way out and went back to the office building and took a picture after they decorated the tree:

Trying to get into the Christmas spirit. Been busy packing to move and don't have a lot of time.

Chris. The shadows make it feel as if everyone/everything is floating!
The tree is decorated well though!

Re: Contest 76: Sparkle it up

Yeah I think your right! Although maybe just a effect of the alchohol!! Just got lazy and used the drop shadow option in layer properties which is quite hard to get right for multiple shadows. However having looked at some of the brilliantly decorated trees that have been posted I have decided to do a revised version so will add manual shadows then. Cheers Lexus.

Re: Contest 76: Sparkle it up

I wished i could enter again, but now I found my xmas presents (My parents are rubbish at hiding things!) I am now seting up my computer and things, to put it all on my new hard-drive and stuff, so i might not be back till after christmas.

So Merry Christmas everyone, all have a good time, and see y'all in the new year.

Santa will determine that you're a "Very Naughty Boy" indeed. You've now spoilt your own surprise and probably ruined the moment when your parents see your face light up when they hand you the presents that you have gone searching for - don't spoilt Christmas for them too - put your presents back where you found them and pretend, for at least their sake, that you haven't already found them.

I haven't seen all of it, just the one thing

And what i meant was, that im setting all the stuff in this computer, ready to be moved (this meaning the one im using now)

One of these? Never saw the point of custom cases really.

YEAH! Thats the one, I love it!
I have two Atomic shaped Fan covers going on the side, some neon bar lights going round the side bit, some light up blue fans on the side, and an atomic sticker going on the window.

Plus a Light Up Blue Keyboard and a Light up Blue Mouse

Nice non-secular indoor greenery Maiden. Is that tinsel festoon (oops; banner I mean) made with the brush from your tutorial?
