Thank you Dominique for an awesome kit.

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

~~ Lets get started ~~

Copy and paste Element 26 as a new layer.
Use your Selection Tool and section off the right side of the frame:

Deselect.
Edit/Paste as New Layer
Match the frame pieces to create more of a square frame.

Move this to the top in your layers pallet.
Make your Selection Tool active set on Circle.
Starting at the center of the circle frame move outward with your mouse until the edges run along the center of the hearts.  It’s alright if the circle isn’t exactly centered.  We can fix that in a bit.
New Raster layer below the frame.

You can now move the circle to center it more below the frame.  If you find the paper is a bit too big then resize to make smaller.
