Thanks go to Silvie for the lovely lady tube and to Alejandra Rosales for the beautiful lily tube. The various scraps tubers are unknown and I thank them for their work.

Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named Flower Girl. Please duplicate and close original tubes. Use the copies for your work so you will not lose the originals. I have used the plugin Simple/Top Left Corner. I have also used effects of PSPX9. Place the Selections in your PSP Selections folder and Export the Brush in your PSP/Brushes folder. Check to see if you have the font in your Fonts folder; if not, import it into Windows Fonts. I have used PSPX9 for this tutorial but other versions may be used.
