What do you need:
The diamond:
download here.
Filterfactory A:
download here.
Unzip to your plugins folder in PSP.
Open diamond.psp file in PSP.
~~~~
Attention!!
If your filter won't work, you might need this dll file (MSVCRT10.DLL download here)
Unzip to Windows/System directory.
Maybe it works fine, but you never know.
Fore some filters (f.e some
FF filters) it
is necessary to change the file extension.
You can use the plugin commander to do so.
Download here.
Restart PSP after installing.

Let's start. Good luck!
Open an image or use this one:
New image 300 X 300
> Transparent.
New raster layer.
Fill with white or a color that isn't in your picture.
Pick a color from your picture as your foreground color.
I used #8E012B.
Background closed.
Take the draw tool
with these settings.
Doodle some lines.
Doesn't matter what.
Effects

Play with the sliders till you have a lace pattern you like.
The setting is different with everyone, because you all draw
different.
Pay attention your pattern is round with transparent area's.
Apply
Not satisfied, click undo
and
try again.
Effects > 3D effects > Inner bevel.
Take selection tool, choose circle.
Draw a round selection in the middle and hit delete.
Selections > Save to Alpha channel.
Attention!!! Don't make your circle to small, your picture has to
fit.
Selections > None.

pick ellipse.
These settings:
Draw an ellipse that fits nicely over
your deleted middle section.

Same settings.
