I've created this in PSP9 and I would assume it can be created in all versions.
You'll also need some knowledge of Animation Shop.
Supplies needed:
A tube of choice. I'm using one by Tiffany Toland-Scott (http://www.tiffanysrealm.com), available to purchase from CDO (http://www.cdoestore.com/).
Do not use the same tube without the appropriate license.
Font of choice. I'm using Havlova-Austral.
My Wordart, or lyrics of your choice. You can download mine from here (http://www.4shared.com/photo/ykOAppNC/SMM12-KissFromARoseLyricsLarge.html)
Plugins:
Penta.com - Dot and Cross
AAA Frames - Foto Frame
1. Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels. Flood fill your canvas with a colour of your choice from your tube.
2. Apply Penta.com - Dot and Cross with the following settings:
