Copy and paste onto the canvas.

Position it slightly to the left.

10. Repeat steps 7 to 9, but make the rectangle smaller.

11. Merge All Layers Visible.

12. Draw a small rectangle on the bottom part of the lady-tube

(make sure that layer is active :) )

It will become the squares(little blocks)

It will also become the background in the script,

as well as the border, so save it somewhere,

but don't close it!

Just minimize it.

Copy and Paste as a new image.

Add a 2 pixel white border,

select with your Magic wand

and fill with gold.

13. Open a new transparent canvas, size 150x150.

Paste the square onto this canvas.

14. Copy and paste this square onto the bigger canvas.

Place it in the golden rectangle on the right side.

Repeat this step another 2 times.

top to the butterfly.

Copy and paste as new layer onto the canvas.

16. Layers -- Load/Save Mask -- Load mask from disk:

Copy and paste onto the background canvas

and position at the bottom of the golden rectangle.

Add a 1 pixel black.

20. Add a 4 pixel white border.

Select with your Magic Wand.

Change the foreground color in your Color palette to Pattern.

Find the square you have made in step 12.

It should be one of the top patterns in the palette.

Fill the border with this pattern.

21. Repeat step 19.

Merge all layers.

Resize the image to 580x468 pixels

if you want to use my script.

The script requires another two background tiles, as well

as the square (step 12)you have made.
