CBC Week

This is CBC Week (Crazy Brat Creation Week) and we were to do whatever we wanted as long as we used the VM filters. I started out with the tube below:

I reduced the tube to 75% of it's original size, made the canvas square, added a new raster layer below the tube, filled that with a gradient made from two colors in the tube. I then duplicated the tube layer and working on the original, used VM Distortion Kaleidoscope and VM Distortion Gear at their default settings. I followed that with making a simple frame and used VM Distortion Center Mirror in the outside border. You can see my result below:
