Our new fiend Andrew Buckle of graphicxtras.com gave us some awesome circle shapes to share with our readers.

This is really a cool site for masses of shapes. They have tons (many of them, not a weight of them ha) of arrow and animal shapes. They also have about 10,000 brushes, and lots of gradients and patterns.
The shapes are for Photoshop CS6 CS5 CS4 CS3 Cs2 etc to version 6, as well as Photoshop elements 10, 9, 8 etc to version 1 – PC and MAC. The shapes are loaded in Photoshop via the file open command as well as via the edit menu preset manager and also via the custom shapes tool / custom shapes palette load / replace commands.
