This tutorial was written using PSP version 7.02 but should work with other versions.
It uses Selections which you can download HERE.
I'm assuming you have basic knowledge of the tools in PSP and the use of the layer palette.
Included in the zip is a color guide. Just use your dropper tool to select the colors.
Or chose your own!
