The images you create with these tuts are for personal use only, NOT for profit or gain.
Your tut results may NOT be tubed and offered for download, but you may make personalized siggys for yourself and others.
These tutorials are NOT to be scripted or made into  "Quick Guides" unless it is for your own personal use.
These tuts were written for Paint Shop Pro versions 7 and 8 but can be applied to later versions provided you know your way around PSP pretty good. The tools you use might look a bit different or in different locations, but otherwise work the same.

Please Note:
Instructions for the text and decorations are NOT included.  Just the Calling Card base. 
You have to use your imagination for the rest.
