 Notable warning: Before you begin, I want you to know I wrote this tutorial as I was creating it and I made many changes throughout the process, as in moving elements  around, I tried to record all the changes, but I can’t be certain I succeeded. So please, refer to the tag for placement. My apologies if this causes you any inconvenience and thanks for considering this tutorial.

 Disclaimer: This tutorial is written by Pamela A. Mabry on March 12, 2023, and is solely from my own imagination, any similarity to any other/s is pure coincidence. This tutorial is written with the assumption you have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.

Remember to apply your drop shadow as you proceed.
