Drag a rectangle on the envelope just big enough to fit inside it comfortably

14) Load a different colour, pattern or gradient into your Styles Foreground Box and flood fill the selection

(The reason you can only see part of the flood fill is because the card layer is under the front layer)

Selections > Select None

15) Layers > New Raster Layer

Name it Text

On the layer palette turn Off the visibility on the Front layer

	PSP 7
	PSP 8

Choose a Solid, pattern or gradient in your Fill box that you would like to use for your text colour.

Go to the layer palette and right click on the floating selection layer. Click on Promote to Layer.

Repeat this for all the words you want to add.

Add a new layer and add your tube.

Make sure your tube and all your words are in the position you want them then go to the layer palette. Make sure all layers are turned off except the text layers and the tube layer.

Right click on a text layer and go to Merge > Merge Visible.

Right click on that merged layer and rename it  - Text
