I am having WAY too much fun with this! Thanks equestrienne!

 

[FireGoddess]

That was cute!

 

[Selkie]

Okay, I'm a dork...I can't figure it out. My scissors keep twirling and I just keep making random lines. I know I'm not doing it right but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Zoe, no worries, it took me a while too. You can only cut when the scissors turn green, and then you have to click at multiple points so that it cuts a shape and not just a line if that makes sense.

That was fun. Here''s mine:

I liked it so much, I made two...

SDL~ I see hearts and geese in yours!

 

[zoebartlett]

Okay, seriously, I still can''t do it! All I see are blinking stars and blue lines. The scissors are green and sometimes they cut and sometimes they don''t. It''s driving me crazy!

 

[DiamanteBlu]

I made some flakes and I thought I could do better. Then I screwed them up completely. Maybe I should try again tomorrow AM! LOL!

 

[somethingshiny]

Zoe~

You have to start at an outer edge when the scissors are green, then click out the shape you want to remove with your last star on another edge. You can''t go through another "line", you have to go around it or start a new cut.

 

[zoebartlett]

Yay!! I did it! Thanks for the explanations...

 

[zoebartlett]

Okay, so mine''s not exactly pretty but it''s...unique. Yes, unique.

Round 4, here we go...

 

[zoebartlett]

Man, I am BAD at this. All of yours are so pretty...and then there''s mine.

 

[BigDiamonds]

ok, here is one of mine that my sister thought was cool, so i''ll play. i was trying to make a woman wearing a big honkin'' diamond for PS, but she looks more like mrs. scissorhands.

 

[Mannequin]

Hahaha, you guys are making great snowflakes! Glad you are enjoying this as much as my class and I did.

Rainydaze, I really like the one with the trees and stars in it!
