Make a heart frame using preset shapes, heart 1, foreground green, background null, line width 36, coordinates 80x,80y, then 525x and 525y.  Convert to raster layer  If you haven't used coordinates before they are easy.  Here's how.  Move your freehand selection tool (or required tool) slowly back and forth and up and down your image without clicking it.  If you look in the bottom right hand corner of your PSP program you will see a set of numbers changing as you move your tool around.  Those numbers are coordinates.  Line up your preset selection tool at the first set of coordinates then drag down and to the right till you find your second set of coordinates.
