Working with Brushes

My third lesson in Fire Island was to find and install brushes. I had a little trouble finding some brushes that would install easily. Everyone seems to use Photoshop brushes and I don't know how to convert them yet. I didn't want to waste my time learning that yet, but I did find some that would work. I made the background into a gradient, added some shadow to the tube, made a kaleidoscope frame and added my corner brushes and font. I think I like the frame the best.
