Fairy in Egg (Selections)

This tutorial is written for PSP 7.04 but it does work out at other versions :-)
This tutorial is completely my own creation and any similarity to other tutorials, is purely coincidental.

I've got the idea of this tutorial making a snail mail card using a picture like this.
