Happy Yuletide

This is a selections tut I made myself, I have always been fascinated with the selection tuts, this is not very hard and does not have too many selections and if you are just starting with selections, you should have no trouble with this

Make a folder on the desktop for your selections...don't put them in PSP because you will probably never use them again and we can work from a folder on the desk or wherever it's good for you

Supplies

Extract the selections to their own folder...extract the patch and the picture to a folder where you can find them..

Open your picture and re size to about 330 x 234...this is the size of mine...add a new layer... add your text to the picture and then layers>merge...re name picture or text..... shrink it for now. ..Open a canvas...400x400...transparent.....

Add a new layer...selections>load from disk...f1sel...flood fill with your colour I added the peppermint patch which you are welcome to use..... shrink it and you will find it in your patterns...set the scale at 50 and the angle at 51.. add an inner bevel
