Blasted Grid Tutorial
Click on image to see larger version
At the time I created this tutorial, all tubes, scrapkits, etc were
in working links. Sorry if the links no longer work
With scrapkits, if the link or site is missing, choose a similar scrapkit
I created this tut in PSPX4 (14) but it can be done
with any version of PSP. You need to have a good understanding of
your PSP program to do this tutorial
You will need:
A sitting tube - I used one of ©Marika's lovely tubes.
You need to be a registered member of CDO
