1. Open a new work area with the Width set at 500 and the Height set at 350.

2. Select two complimentary colours from your tube one dark and one light, I used #000000 for my foreground and #FFFFFF for my background.

3. Flood fill your work area with your dark colour.

4. Go to Effects/penta.com/Dot and Cross and apply the settings below.

5. Add a new layer.

6. Toggle your colours and flood fill with your light colour.

7. Copy and paste your salsa_bubbles and arrange in the upper right hand corner.

8. If you are using black and white like I am on your layers palette lower the opacity to 55. If using your own colours lower the opacity to 38 and change the Blend Mode to Luminace (Legacy)

9. Duplicate this layer.

10. Go to Image/Mirror.

11. Then Image/Flip.

12. Copy and paste your curve 1 tube and arrange to the left hand side.

13. This is what you have so far.

14. If using another colour besides black and white you will need to go to your layers palette and change the Blend Mode to Luminace (Legacy).

15. Duplicate this layer.

16. Go to Image/Mirror.

17. Then Image/Flip.

18. Copy and paste your Curve 2 tube and arrange to the bottom of your work area and overlapping Curve 1.

24. Duplicate this layer.

25. Then to Image/Mirror.

26. Make sure your Background is your dark colour and CLOSE your Foreground.

27. Open your Rulers, Guides and Snap to Guide Lines, to do this go to View/Rulers, View/Guides, View/Snap to Guides.

28. Lets set up our guide lines, place the first one at 170, to do this click on the lefthand side ruler and holding your mouse down slide the guide over and when ready let go.

29 Now set your second guide at 180.

30. Now click on your rectangle shape tool.

31. Now start at the very top INSIDE your guide lines and draw a rectangle all the way past the bottom of your work area.

32. Now click on your black (dark) line and use your arrow key to move it up to very top if you see a space there, this is why we went past the work area.

33. On your layers palette right click on this Vector layer and select Convert to Raster Layer.

34. Open your foreground colour which should be your white or light colour.

35. Close your Guides by going to View/Guides and unchecking.

36. Click on your Pen tool and set it at 175 and draw a straight line all the way down and past your work area.

37. Once again check to make sure it is all the way to the top, if not click on it and use your arrow key to move it up.

38. On your Layers palette right click on this Vector layer and select Convert to Raster Layer.

39. Right click on your white line layer and select Merge/Merge Down, this will merge the two lines together, if I remember correctly PSP 7 users will have to close all the layers except the two lines and merge visible, then reopen all the layers again.

40. Duplicate this layer and move your line so that the lefthand edge is on 190.

41. Duplicate again and move your line so that the lefthand edge is on 300.

42. Duplicate again and move your line so that the lefthand edge is on 320.

43. What we have so far, I zoomed this in so you could make sure your line placement is right.

44. Now we are going to cheat Duplicate your line.

45. Go to Image/Free Rotate and check right and 90 degrees.

46. Arrange this on the left hand side of your work area and align the top so it is sitting at 120 on your ruler.

47. Now it is short so click on your Pick tool (arrow).

48. Go to the right end of your line and hover your mouse over it, when you see the arrow pointing east and west click and pull all the way over to the right hand side and slightly past.

49. Now that was better than pulling out the guides and drawing all over again.
