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.

Open a 200x200 transparent Image. This should give you plenty of room to work.
We only need to draw one half of the heart...We will duplicate it and mirror it then merge.
