Pudding Mold Tutorial

This tutorial was written with PSP 7. All you will need is the pudding mold file.

The terms of use are here



NOTE: Each step which needs a new layer will use the format with the name of the new layer, and then the selection for that layer. So Whatever layer - whatever.sel, means make a new layer Whatever, and then get the whatever.sel file by going to Selections - Load from disk.
If you aren't familiar with using the Colour Pallette for patterns, there is a short explanation here

Congratulations--you have finished the pudding mould!

LOL--if I ever figure out a way to make the plum impression on the bottom, we can make a plum pudding mould, even though there are no plums in plum pudding!
