This is 3 graphics I put together to make
this little tag...if you have a better mouse or graphic to place on the rocket,
please feel free to use it, that is why I left an extra rocket This tut is written in PSP 7
but I have tried to make adjustments for PSP 9 users

Let's begin
...................................................................................
Open your template in PSP....open your font and shrink it to taskbar..
duplicate the cat layer and close off the original
Close off all layers except the bottom layer...add a new layer and name it wall...
with your selection tool set at square....draw a selection around the
cat at the bottom, and make sure you get it so the cat
is resting on the wall
Bring this selection all the way across the canvas and down to
the bottom....flood fill this with the brick in your patterns of the flood fill bucket.....
...let's make it look real...go to effects....texture....texture
...and choose the brick #4...I used these setting but
you can play with them if you like...select none
PSP 9 users, extract the brick pattern to your pattern folder in PSP9...
set the scale to 110...angle set at 0
Effects...texture...texture with above settings Add a new layer and name this layer text.....click on the text tool...size set at 72...
stroke set at null...fill set at white.....line set at 1......floating and
antalias checked...type your name and place it in the middle just uner the cat....
effects....texture...sculpture...I used the same brick but you
may want to use another colour....effects...drop shadow with these settings..
Select none Let's add a border, I do like borders....
add new layer....selections...select all....selections....modify...contact by 8....
selections ....invert......flood fill with your brick pattern....
add the sculptue effect you added to the brick...
selections select none...re name this border...looking good!
PSP 9 users, add another layer and flood fill
with white...re name background and leave this layer open always
Layer Palette for PSP9............Layer Paltte for PSP7
