Hy @mr.frodobaggins I usually use the Colorize Effect for this type of task.

Hy @JimP !

I typically use alycia clouds in horizontal orientation in my maps. I always try to vary their size and also, in some cases, use more than one image to make a larger cloud.

Normally i choose placing them to cover free spaces but without disturbing the necessary parts of the map.

After finish the clouds you can put your names with contrast in the glow to stand out over the clouds.

Hy @Royal Scribe !

I was looking at your post and was intrigued by the challenge. I had never thought too about creating a castle in the clouds before. So while watching a boxing match I made this small "Close up" image (size 40x50 - metric). I only used images from Mike Schley style and attach the FCW file in case you want to take a look.

After much testing, I didn't like any of the massive tree effects, even though I tested a variety of them... so... I manually put them one by one into a real ZEN state of soul and a machine gun tree with the mouse.
