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, working with
Selections. This may look lenghty, but it's repeated steps, easy and fun!

What you'll need:
Paintshop Pro HERE
Selections DOWNLOAD
Images 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 HERE

I've included the colors. Just use your eyedropper to click on the color and your foreground
color will turn that color. To get this Color chart, just right click and Save as picture to where
you keep your images you use in the version of Paintshop Pro you use.

FINISHING

You can do 1 of 2 things here.
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 feel free to Email me.
