In last week’s post about a “Scallop Border” I showed you how to make some using the ellipse tool and other standard Photoshop Elements (PSE) Shapes. Well, guess what? It’s equally as easy to create perfect stripes using some of the same steps I used last week. This super quick technique doesn’t end there.

I can only imagine that you’re seeing something in your head that’s similar to the featured image above and wondering how this is going to work.
