Best viewed 800x600 and using IE. This tutorial is a creation of my own. Any resemblance to another is purely coincidental. No copyright infrigments are intended. I've used techniques I've learned along the way and new ones as I learn. Please read my Terms before doing my tutorial. I used Paintshop Pro X to make this tutorial, but will be compatible with versions 8 and newer. You will need to have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro to do this tutorial. My tutorials may seem lengthy, but I try to write them so even the moderate beginner can be able to do them as well as the more advanced. I hope you enjoy :) I want to thank rainbow coffi's for the lovely graphic use in this tutorial. What you will need: Paint Shop Pro if you don't have it you can get an evaluation copy Here .psp Images Here The images I've collected along the way or got from a group. I've kept the original title on them. If it's yours please let me know so I can give the proper credits. The images and patterns are in .psp image and you can unzip them into your images folder. If you dont have a zip program you can get one Here **Save your work often!!!! 1. Open up a New Image. 600x600. Floodfill with White. 2. Open up the V-ForgetMeNotAccents image.

Now all the butterflies are one. Now duplicate this layer and shut the duplicate off. Activate the original butterfly layer. 6. Adjust/Blur/Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 19.
