Items needed to complete this tutorial:
JASC's PaintShop Pro-
And this file of tubes
 
 
Ok, Lets Get started!
Unzip the tubes and place in your working folder.
 
Step 1:
Open a new transparent image 400 X 400, you can crop away anything not needed. Go to Layers/New Raster Layer called Flare. Open the H Flare tub supplied in your file. Go Edit/Copy, back to your working image, Go to Edit/Paste/As New Selection.

De-Select.

Step 2:

De-Select.

Step 4:
Our angel is in need of some wings. You can use the wings included in the zip file, or your own. I chose the irwings.psp reduced by 50% with the following results:

Step 5:
Go to Layers/New Raster Layer name this layer Head. Set your Preshapes Tool to Ellipse, background color white, foreground color null. Draw a small circle for the head. Go Selections/Select All, Selections/Float, and apply the same inner bevel we used on the body. Go to Colors/Colorize and use the same setting you chose before.

What you do with her now is completely up to you. Decorate her as you wish.
