Romantic Frame 
A tutorial by Mar ©2003

What we need:
Plugin Visman (VM). Download here. 
Extract to your folder 'Plugins' in PSP.
The  overlay and Corner tubes download here.
Open all files in PSP.

I'm so glad I have special permission by BJ for using her image.
You find it in de ZIP.
BJ from BJ's Haven makes beautiful art in Poser en Bryce.
Her art may NOT be used to edit in PSP except for this one.
For the purpose of this tutorial you may use "Enchanted Ivy".
Respect © her terms please. You find this difficult?
Use another image with a black background (300 X 300).

~~~ I, BJ of BJ's Haven, have given Mar permission to use my
 'Enchanted Ivy' art work to make one of her frame tutorials.

My signature should always be left on my art work
and not claimed as someone else's nor sold as theirs. 
Plus, a link to my site should be with each copy of 'Enchanted Ivy'. ~~~

Thanks BJ, I am so honored with this exception.

Save often.
Let's get started. Good luck.....
