The tutorial is created and made by Pink at the 23rd of august 2021 with the programm Corel PaintShop Pro X7. It is also possible to make the tut with the other versions of PSP. It will be handy to have some knowledge of PSP. I can speak and write in English but it is not my native language. So if there is something you don't understand, don't hesitate to contact me. You can reach me at this mail address: pinkdesignpsp@gmail.com
