For this tutorial you will need the materials in the zip file below.

Thanks go to K@rine_Dre@ms , to Colorel and to Narah for their beautiful work used in this tutorial.

Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named Wrapped in Fuchsia. Please duplicate and close originals. Place the Ziggys.cfg file in your PSP Files/Plugins/Dragonfly/Sinedots II folder. I have used Mura'sMeister/Perspective, Dragonfly/SinedotsII/ArasimagesZigZag, AP-01 Innovations/Mirror-Reflections and effects of PSP in this tutorial. It is assumed you have a working knowledge of PSP to follow these directions. I have used PSPX7 for this tutorial but other versions may be used. To work this tutorial, it is assumed you have some working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
