A Hug
A special lesson for all the people who make my lessons
MY THANKS TO YOU ARE GREAT.
This lesson was written on Sept 14, 2024 using psp12
If you are working with a different version of PSP, the settings and filter effects may give a different effect. Play around with the settings until you get the desired result.
This lesson was conceived and written by me. Any similarity is purely coincidental.
