Butterfly

In this Tutorial 
I use EYE-CANDY.
This tutorial assumes you know the basic 
tools in paint shop pro.

start with a graphic you like.
This butterfly is from Lori's Tubes.

I have attached it here if 
you would like to use it.
Save it as you would any tube.

Open a new image
800x800
(I like lots of room to work)
I have changed things a bit.
the graphics may show  more objects
than you really need. 
but the instructions are correct.

Click on the tube tool.
Pick the tube you want.
Click in the middle 
of the 800x800 image.
now you see your tube picture.
I had you open a large image because
all tube sizes are not the same.
to get it to a workable image,
Click- Hold and drag the layer 
from the layer palette,
to a clear area of the screen.
This makes a new selection
 without wasted space.

close the 800x800 image
as  it's not needed now.

It will have the 'marching ants' around it.

The 'marching Ants' 
still need to be active!
