I wrote this tutorial with permission from Laraine.
She was kind enough to tell me how she did this.
She was also kind enough to allow me to put it on
my web page so that every one could do it.

This was done in PSP 9.

Materials you will need

Right click on the graphic, Choose
"Save Picture As" from the menu that pops up.
Save it to a folder of your choice.



I do not know who the artist is of the

If you know, please let me know so that
I can give credit where credit is due.
