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
