*VIP eligibility is based on management approval
Here is my example (don't laugh  )

Paint sucks so this is NOT a valid entry. You can have it anyway.
I used only the same tools as available in Paint but they're 10x better in Photoshop. There's no way I could do it within MS Paint.
My kid was entertained while I did it anyway.

as someone who has used different graphic tools for the last 20 years... you'd be amazed what you can do with MS paint if you take the time.
but yeah.. it takes for freaking EVER !!!! and is mind numbingly tedious compared to CS or even GIMP or Illustrator and a nice pad.
my version of PS is 5.5 I refuse to pay for what I don't need nor illegally DL a newer version.
go ahead and laugh now
gack!!! I didn't realize this was in this particular forum, didn't mean to insult anyone. my bad.
