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.

This tutorial is wrote to where you need some
knowledge of psp.

PSP 9 is what I used

You will have a total of 9 layers in your layer pallet.

Or use another paper its all up to you.

I left raster 6 alone and left it white.
If you happy with everything then merge these layers together.
This is what I have so far.

Now your ready to add any tubes or accents you wish to your tag.
I canvas sized the template to 700 X 700 centered, to give me more room to add things.
You can re size when your done.
Now just add what you wish, be sure and re size your tubes as needed.

It's all up to you.

Add a drop shadow as you go to each tube if you wish.
