Did anybody try a syrenge for small amounts of colored lines? I thought it might work, but am not really sure. The icing would really have to be fluid, though... hmmm.
There is a whole category of clips called "Tips, Tutorials and Templates" or something like that. It's where people post images that are also linked to photo tips or tutorials that may be off site. So it's a particularly useful clip set to search for these sorts of things.
