Plaid maker

Do you ever waste large chunks of time searching for web pages where you just know you read about something or other?  And you never find the original thing you were looking for, but you find something equally cool?  I do the time-wasting part all the time, but don't always luck out stumbling across something else.  That's because usually one of the little girls wakes from her nap and my computer time is over for the day.  Today, though, an extra-long nap yielded me Nerdcereal's plaid maker tool.  I'll admit that it's a bit geeky for someone with my level of Photoshop experience.  Which is to say, someone who is just finishing up her last class at the local art center and whose free month trial version expired last week.  But this stuff is still fun to play with.

Turns out the original tartan generator I was looking for is here, though I can't seem to find who among you originally posted about it.  But how about a stripe generator?  There sure are a lot of ways to fritter away precious naptime on the internet...
