Wanna Get Lucky? Tut

This tut was created with the wonderful kit from Dee's Deelights at http://dees-deelights.com/store Called Mintie. Thank you for creating such a great kit!

The tube I used is from Keith Garvey at http://www.garvgraphx.com/ and can be purchased through MPT. Please do not use without a license.

Select your very first template layer ( the one with the doodles) and DS the same. Highlight your top layer in Palets. Open Butterflies of choice, resize 35% then 50%. Sharpen and CP onto your working canvas. DS the same. CP your dragonfly and do the same to it. Position.

If you are not animating then you are done and can save as a jpg.

ANIMATION:

Edit-Copy. Open up Animation shop and paste as a new animation. Duplicate your tag to 3 layers by hitting the little duplicate icon in the task bar twice.

Open up the animated flower I made and CRTL AC and click on your tag animation- CTRL AE. Position the flower where you want it and hit your left mouse button. You can always hit CTRL Z to remove it and do it again. Check your animation by hitting the little movie icon in the task bar.
