Using a brush by ~LoRdaNdRe put the skulls and stars in the center of a gradient I made using the drop color-tool, effects, filters, saturation and lighting. I need to remember to start saving the gradients I make.
The brush started as white then using bevels altered the shape and look of the brush.
