I like this tutorial.

I can see using this for my scrapbooks.

The stars give it a great touch.

what do u mean by "Step 4: Grab the object you want to wrap your swirl around and place your swirl exactly on top. You can rotate the spiral as you see fit, but your end result will be better if you keep it perfectly horizontal or vertical. In this case I've decided to wrap the spiral around a simple pipe."
It kinda got me lost there sorry! lol

I didn't think that it was that easy to make a light swirl.
And the star did the picture more beautiful.

I simply means that you should place your spiral in a layer on top of (and orientated to) whatever you want it to go around. The underlying object is best if it is perfectly horizontal/vertical, as this will make the effect look better.
