This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 X 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Choose a paper that you want to use for your circle and open it up.
Make your Ellipse Tool active.
In your color pallet:
Foreground: Null

Angle: 0
Scale: 50
OK
Make your white canvas active.
Draw out a circle that’s approximately 400 x 400
Objects/Align/Center in Canvas
Convert to Raster layer.

All resizing of any embellishments in this tutorial will be approximate as it depends on how small or large you made your circle.

Position it where you like over the circle.
