Tish Frame
(PSP 7, 8, 9 & 10)
A tutorial by Mar © 2004.

The idea for this tutorial is by Tish, a friend at my PSP For Fun Group.
Tish made this frame and asked me to put it into a tutorial.
It came out a bit different, but the selfmade Bubble and
GoldBraidTile.jpg for the border are handed to me by Tish.
Thanks hon. I hope this is what you had in mind.

Save often.
Let's go. Good luck.....
