DELCIOUS ELIAS BABE

This tutorial was written for those who have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.

It was written by me on May 16, 2009 and is meant to be a guide to your own creativity.

Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental

Make yours the same as mine, or choose your own materials and tube.

I'd love to see what you come up with, and add it to my tags page!!

Delicious Scraps.  You can download it here.

Image, Resize all layers by 30 percent,

Image, Canvas Size, as follows

Click on your preset tools, ellipse, with these settings

starting in the center of the ellipse at coordinates (300, 310).  (Note:  To use coordinates first make sure

that your Status tool bar is active (go to View, Tools, Status)  When it is on you will see a set of small numbers

 at the bottom right of your paint shop pro screen as you move your cursor over your image.  Move the cursor

until the numbers are the same as those specified.  Then move to the top and side to create an ellipse

as large as the center edge of the frame.
