Games Anyone? PTU

Games Anyone?
I used the wonderful artwork called Are you talking to me?  by Elias which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase this tube from Elias Art Shop which can now be found here 
I am using a awesome scrapkit called Gamer Geek which is PTU by Gimptastic Scraps and can be found at The PSP Project here 
Font of Choice 
Mask of Choice I used Weescotlass WSL218 which can be found here
The tut was written in Paint Shop Pro X4 but should work in others.

Note When I resize I use these settings: (make sure that pixel dimensions is on percent and in advanced setting it is smart size lock aspect ratio is checked and resize all layers is unchecked) also please save often and for placement on the tag you can always refer to the example tag if that helps.

Let's get started!!


Open a new image 800 X 800 pixels with a transparent background.  You can resize later to meet your needs. I resize at the end by 75% to get a 600 X 600 tag
