Hey guys, I finished up a little tip jar graphic that's perfect for donations and such. I am going to do a tutorial for it soon, but for now I figured I'd at least share the .xcf so you guys can quickly make your own tip jars if you so desire. Here's what the image looks like, note that the jar is actually transparent in the .xcf so the background can easily be changed. In fact, the jar is nothing more than a layer mask so you can change the jar to any color you want. I found that using a gradient on the jar layer can create some really realistic results.

File comment: I had to merge a few layers together to get it under 5mb, but the control is still there.

You can dramatically reduce the file size of XCFs by saving them with either the .xcf.gz or .xcf.bz2 extension. For example, here is your Tip Jar saved as TipJar.xcf.bz2 which is only 2.4MB

Very clever use of layer masks and a good image.
