Umm, did we break it? I can’t search anymore. “No results were found. Please refine your search.” when I search locations for “SDMB”. I think I’m up to 17 now… ---

227144 is quite possibly the best damn snowflake I’ve ever seen. Uh, yeah. 😉 ---

I have the SDMB to thank for this, and for Popcap, and for Poke the Bunny. This is a conspiracy to stop all members doing productive work, isn’t it? ---

I really liked [your #227363](http://www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html?id=227363). It twinkles as it falls. **Abbie** , I keep finding yours inadvertently. How long have you been at this? :eek: I only made four. I tried to make a face on the third one but it came out pretty fugly! #227350. The last one looks a little better (#227365), but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how someone made The Grinch! That was insane! Good job, peeps! 😃 ---

Ooh ooh ooh! Click on the paper. Now, instead of making just one cut, drag the mouse all over the paper. Drag it all you want, never letting go of the mouse. Drag until you get bored, and release your finger off the mouse button. No more changes, there’s your snowflake. Kinda neat. ---

Okay, I did two for you using your method. It works great! No fuss, no muss. I could be at this all night. Curse you all. ---

I’m not even going to try doing that. I am, however, going to try Abbie’s idea. I’m up to, like, 40 flakes now. :eek: ---

> [@Silver Fire](#): > > Thanks. 🙂 Those faces are amazing! I’m not even going to try doing that. Thanks! I really liked yours a lot. The faces are easier than it looks. Just draw half a face. It’s not as easy to do if you actually want it to look like someone, though. I’d really like to try a monkey, but I don’t think I can do it. Or Santa. Or Jerry Garcia. Gee, I wish I had more talent. ☹ ---

Another idea to try: do my previous idea, only act like you’re trying to erase every bit of white. ---

I’m done over there. Unfortunately there isn’t any way to protect my name, and I’ve managed to pick up a troll. Oh well, I think 50 is plenty of snowflakes anyway. Thanks for the link, **Tamarin**. ---

I can’t stop! Too. Much. Fun. Dopers are the best flakes of all! I love watching the flakes morph after you roll over them. ---

Thanks for the link, **Tamarin**. Is this what you asked about and then ignored me for in chat? And how the hell do you get a troll on a site like that?
