Elegant Bauble

This tutorial is my own creation. Any resemblance to another is purely coincidental. Please
read my tutorial terms. I used Paintshop Pro 7.04, and it should work in other versions. You'll need a knowledge of Paintshop Pro to make this tutorial. It may seem long but it's easy and repetitive. So kick back, relax, have some hot cocoa and enjoy :)
and enjoy :

What you'll need:
Paintshop Pro trial version
Here
Selections
Download
Patterns
Download

Unzip your downloads into where you keep your files for your Paintshop Pro. Everybody
has a different way of doing this, depending on what versions they are using. If you need a
zip/unzip program you can get winzip

FINISHING

You can do 1 of 2 things here.
1. Activate your blank Layer 1 and add a background. If you used Layer 1 add a New Layer and
   drag it to the bottom, and add a background. OR:
2. You can Right Click on any layer in your layer pallette. Merge/Merge Visible.
    Go to File/Export and down the menu click on Picture tube. Type in the name
    you want for your image, and it will go to your picture tubes. I like making
    a lot of my work into picture tubes because I can make them the scale size I
    want and they always look nice. After you make your picture tube you can also
    save your image for later use.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial :) If you have any questions please email me.
