A Christmas Wish 9

Supplies

1 tube of choice - I used the wonderful artwork of PinUpToons which can be purchased from CDO. You must have a license to use.

Font of choice - I used Bubble 1 here. Just some FYI, when I downloaded this font it was a Binery file. I had to run as administrator and it was automatically installed into my PSP program. Just thought I’d let you know because downloading from that site never used to be like that.
