Figured out a better way to create a template for Packed Ellipse preset (G'MIC) in order to get a cleaner result. Inching closer to Ben Heine circlism results. Still far away. lol
Yes; lost my marbles many many years (well, to be honest, decades) ago, but do continue to find them. lol

Appreciate the words, Issabella. Might not post here as often as I use to, but, I do lurk nearly daily.
