1 tube of choice – I used the beautiful artwork of Carlos Diez which
can be purchased from Up Your Art. You must have
a license to use.
“By the Bay” is a tagger size scrap kit created by me, Bev of
HorsePlay’s Pasture Designs and can be purchased from either of your favorite
stores – Lollipops n Gumdrops or Butterfly Blush Designs. You can
visit my designing blog here.
This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

To get rid of the legs in the image :
Make your Clone tool active – I set my size to about 65.
Right click at the left side of the image. Hold down the left button on your mouse and
run it over the legs. If you went beyond
the edges of the image using this tool DON’T WORRY! We’ll clean that up in a bit.
Once you have the image so it looks pretty much like all water then
highlight the tan rectangle layer.
Click anywhere outside of it with your Magic Wand.
