This tutorial was
written for those who have a working knowledge of Paint
Shop Pro.
It was written by me on January 3, 2010 and comes from
my own creativity. It is meant to be
used as a guide and you may make make changes to it as
you desire to make a tag
that is uniquely yours. I retain the copyright to
the tutorial but any tag you make is your own,
and you can do with it as you wish.
Any resemblance to another tutorial is a coincidence
and
certainly unintended
