Alrighty then, I'll just go to plan B.
I've had this thought rolling around in my brain for a while and finally got it done. I took phrases like barking up the wrong tree, going out on a limb and branching out, and turned them into this.
I started with a basic tree shape. Then I typed out the phrases and rotated, resized and distorted them to follow the shapes of the branches. After that I threw away the tree shape and just started adding in color for the leaves.
Since I haven't had any type of freebie up in quite some time this was a good opportunity to do so.
These are all PNG files so you can place them on anything without having to try and get rid of a background. You get one that I've already colored, one that is black and white that you can add a color layer over top of and one that is just the branches. Hope that someone can find some use for them.
OOPS it would help if I added the link for the download wouldn't it? Good thing I decided to take one last look at the post after I hit the publish button.

Hi Ann! Your posts are such fun and full of creative ideas! :)
Woof! COOL! Ann did you draw that tree with you famous "pad" Thanks for sharing. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
How fun. You really are so very crafty. I wish I were, but alas it's just not in me.
Have a terrific day, and my best to you and Duke. :)
Oh and Hi Sugar. :)
LDH why thank you, did you bring any of those yummy goodies over from your blog?...lol
SGR a little of the pad and a little of the mouse.
Sandee thanks I try any way :)
Wow, I love branching out, very clever. You picked the perfect phrases for this piece. You are one crafty gal.
Very cool design and I love the way you are "playing with words!" Plus of course, seeing greenish trees anyway right now is a big treat.
VEry cool. I might have to find a use for it. You are getting so handy with photoshop.
I love the design! I have no idea what you were saying we could do with it though. I'll just it admire it on your blog!
Those are so neat!!
This post made me want to howl. What?
Cool artwork Ann! Love it! :)
What a clever idea, I love the trees! Maybe Duke will have a more *cough* positive look on his little face tomorrow :o)
I love the way you play with the words. But I gotta say, the Duke looks so much cuter all fluffy and white. Bring back our Duke!!!!
Very cool. you are so creative.
I was a little startled to see Duke. I never imagined he could have a different side to him. But you did a good job at saving the post. Excellent work.
VERY cool! Thanks for the gift :)
P.S. Make Duke positive again pleeez
Those trees are very clever, really nice looking. Duke's negative look is quite adorable!
