Items you will need to complete this project:
The Trick-or-Treat taggers kit by Grunge and Glitter Scraps, which can be purchased at Sophisti-Scraps or Digital Chaos. This is one of the kits I picked out as a birthday pressie!
Tube of choice. I am using PSP9634 Cat by Keith Garvey. You must have a license to use this tube, which is available for purchase at MyPSPTubes.com.
This is "the look" Miss Diamond gives me when she's ticked off about something. And yes, she does have little vampire fangs just like that!
Wee Scots Lass Halloween Mask #2 which you can download HERE.Alpha or Font of choice. I am using the Be Scared Halloween Alpha by Myst Designs, which is a FTU alpha, part of the October Ghost Train. This is a super-sized full sized alpha that I first batch processed through QueenBrats "Resize full size ELEMENTS" (not alpha) and then further resized to 25% while I was constructing the names. It's a great alpha, but it's HUGE!
Note that H# and V# refer to Horizontal and vertical coordinates on your canvas grid. Make sure you have View, Rulers checked in order to see the ruler grid.
When I say "Add to your canvas" I expect that you will copy and paste it as a new layer, unless otherwise state in the tutorial.
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP. It was written using PSP X1, but should work in PSP 8 and up.
Open a new raster canvas, 800 x 800 pxls, flood fill white.

Add a drop shadow of choice to the tube layer. I am using vertical and horizontal offsets of 10 each, opacity of 65, blur of 35, color dark blue (#000080).
Add your copyright info and save the artist version as a .pspimage. For the Garvey tube, the copyright info is.

Click on the bat layer to activate. Using the Alpha or font of choice, add your name to the canvas, centered at around H220, V100, depending upon the size and length of the name.
