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.

Copy and paste Round Frame as a new layer.

Move it up slightly to the right on your canvas.
Click inside with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 6.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste Paper 1 Into Selection.
Copy and paste a tube as a new layer.

Flower 2
Furry Heart: Free rotate left 15 degrees

Highlight your white background.
Select All
New Raster layer.
Copy and paste a Paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect.
Apply the mask.
Merge Group.

Add your credits.

Add your name.
Give it the same slight inner bevel.
