............Let's get hopping along on this one.........

Supplies

Open your template in PSP.....close off all layers except the egg layers(not the small, they go in the basket)now decide which colours you want for each letter of your name, or you can leave them as is... close off all the copies....close off all the original text layers...

This is what your layer palette should look like

The layers with the red arrows are your original text

......open the first original text.....add a new layer... add a letter of your name...I use "comic Sans Ms".... size 20....colour of your choice........ add the text...add an inner bevel...select none

Layers>merge...close off and re name your first letter...mine is D

Do this step with all your letters

When all have been lettered , in the layer palette...open them all and layers>merge...re name text..

Close off that layer, we will need it later
