Getting festive!

I went through a site and found some tutorials that were really simple.  One of the videos I watched was how to make your font look like it's made of candy canes.  Below is my work on it.  I think I did really well making the pattern was the hardest part, if the stripes were not just right, the whole pattern will be off.  Added in the shadows and strokes to both the pattern and the text.  Enjoy!
