Here is another set of edge overlays. I wanted to try some different brush settings and this is what I ended up with.

Edge Overlays 2
I always seem to have way too many design projects on my docket and the list only seems to be getting longer, rather than shorter. I have several tutorials in the works, some scripts, some actions and instead of working on them, I made more edge overlays because it was fun. I also discovered that it was not possible to make edge overlays on my laptop. I kept running out of RAM. Sniff, so sad. My tutorial only works on my desktop with its spiffy NEW-ish RAM. Again, thanks to all the people out there who helped me get this RAM. It keeps me designing and creating.
I hope that people can use these overlays and if you do, I'd love it if you could share your creations with me.

5. Right-click on the square and select Convert to Path.
6. Select the Object Selection /Pick Tool. Click Center on Canvas on the toolbar.
7. Select the Pen Tool. Make sure that Connect Segments, Show Nodes and Create on Vectore on selected. If they are not, switch to Draw Lines mode to select them then choose Edit Mode.
8. Press the Ctrl key and keep it depressed, then click the middle of the top of the square twice to add 2 nodes.
9. Select on of the new nodes and drag it to the center of the canvas. I dragged the node on the left.
