Is there a quick and easy way to make those cute little dashed lines that you see trailing bees and dragonflies? I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious! LOL

I've attached an exmple.

Thanks!

Hi,

I would use a brush and set it to the right size and the step so that it would space itself out correctly and then just draw the line with the dashes.

Otherwise you could use your pen tool, set to free hand and vector and draw out your trail,
Then right click on the new vector shape layer and choose your stroke color and set the line properties to a dashed type line and remove the check box from you fill box!!

Thanks! I need a little practice with that freehand tool, though! LOL

You should be able to use your pen tool with the line set as dashes, then select bezier curve. Just adjust the bars to make the curve look the way you want.
