This tutorial was written for those who have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
It was written by me on July 24, 2009 and comes from my
own creativity. It is meant to be
simply a guide and you are free to make changes, add
to it or subtract from it to make a tag
that is uniquely yours. While I retain the copyright to
the tutorial, any tag you make is your own,
and you can do with it as you wish.
Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely
coincidence
