I do these tutorials for fun and not
for any profit. I use them also as a learning tool to
help others learn the fun and art of paint shop pro.
All things I use are collected, the only thing I claim
Is the tag I make with these as my work.
Feel free to share my tutorials, but link them back
to my site please.

and re sized him 40 percent also and drop shadow.
If you use these little guys I have included in the kit
be sure and add the copy write to you work.

16. Add the tag from the kit to your work and re size it
I went down 30 percent, then move it to the upper right
hand corner there, you might have to move the dried
flowers around so it will fit like you want it.
I took the deform tool and turned it tell I was happy with it.
And even re sized it a bit more with it.
Add a drop shadow to it now.

17. Now you can add some extra leaves to your work
I re sized them down to 10 percent and placed different ones
where I wanted them and used the deform tool to make them how
I wanted them, and a slight drop shadow to them if you wish.
