How I made a vase

I took a background to Image Magick and resized it to 175x300.I then put a fill elipse on it 87,280 80,30 0,360
I then added another fill elipse that was 87,220 100,110 0,360.
Next,I added another elipse,this one was 87,200 90,170 0,360.

Then I added an elipse for the top.87,120 60,20 0,360.
Then I added the black elipse for the opening.87,120 40,10 0,360.

Then I made the lines for the stems.
87,80 87,120
95,80 90,120
110,75 98,120
75,82 80,122
68,76 75,120
I added the flowers as small red elipses at the top coordinates of the stems.
Then I made the poligon.
70,150 110,150 120,200 110,250 70,250 60,200 70,150
Next,I used paint and made the image various shades of goldenrod.After this,I made the background transparent by selecting matte then clicking on that part of the image.Then I resized it to 25%.I then composited it back on the image.Notice te white traces around the edges.This is why I normally use a color very close to the image or black.
I then repeated the process,only this time I changed the background to a shade of seagreen before making it transparent.
After resizing then compositing the previous image on to this one,I changed the coor of this background and made it transparent.
