She gives us all permission to use these tubes.
You will find more wonderful tubes on her site Trudie's Design.
Thank you Trudie..... You are a great artist.

Fill your image with black.

This mask was made by me from scratch.
I have a lot more self made masks here.
Layers > New mask layer > From image.
Find the MD-mask-14.jpg.
Apply.
Layers > Merge > Merge group.

Can't find Kerning?.... Click one of the little black arrows (blue hand).
Anti-alias 'smooth' or checked.
Type "WELCOME".
For PSP 7 users I added the text to the ZIP.
Selections > Select all.
Selections > Float.
Selections > Defloat (PSP 8 & 9).
Sounds silly but that's how it works.
Layers > Merge > Merge all flatten
In your Layer Palette > Duplicate.
If all went well you are on the top layer (= blue).
Adjust > Sharpen > Sharpen more.
Do this two or three times.
Selections > Select none.
Save your tag as poodleskirt.psp.
Animation Shop doesn't recognize the PSP 8 and 9 extensions
*.pspimage so you have to save as PSP 6 or 7 file. Do it like this:
Save as > Click options and choose save as PSP 7 or 6 compatible file.
Open Animation Shop (AS) .
Get your file, you have 2 frames.
Click Ctrl A to select both frames.
Animation > Frame properties > Set to 75.
As you will see this gives a 50's - 60's Neon light effect.
Your Poodle Skirt Tag is done.
