January 18: Elements on a Path

:helpy Help please!

I don't use Photoshop or Elements and I'm a bit confused about this challenge. Is there some way to create a path in either of those two programs and then automatically add elements to it or are people creating a path and then placing their elements on new layers above the path?

(Vectors and I are not friends, I can make paths but rarely do so.)

Elaina, I have and use PSCC 2019. I used a stroked shape of the spiral and then placed elements one by one seperately on the layers above the stroked shape, filling it in.

By the way, it looks similar to how you did your signature with the leaves following the wavy line. That is how I did my elements on the spiral stroked shape.

(FYI: With PS CC you can only put text or brushes on a path and PSE really has a rougher time with paths to manipulate :) )
 
This looks like a ton of fun! I'm going to attempt a companion page for my rainbow page... I'm excited to try! Lots of inspiration here!
