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

14. Now you can close off the merge layer and the background and
merge these layers together, you should only have 2 merged layers and
the background remaining.

15. Take your mover tool and move the layers how you want them to look.
Now we are ready to add some accents.
I used the lady bug leaves, resized them to
50 percent. Then move them down just above the background layer.
Then image flip.
Activate your deform tool and turn them how you want them.

I then took my eraser tool and removed anything I didn't want to show.

17. Add lady bug flower 5 and copy and paste it to your work,
and resize it to 20 percent if it's not your top layer now,
make sure you bring it up there, and move it to the left hand corner
of the frame, you can take your deform tool and turn it how you like it.

18. Then duplicate this layer, and image flip and mirror move to the top right hand corner.
What I have so far.

19. Get the tube you want to use and copy and paste it to your
work as a new layer resize as needed, I went to 60 percent on this one.
Place it how you want it.
