CADA FLOR
Thanks Yedralina for your invitation to translate your tutorials into english
This tutorial was written with CorelX19 and translated with CorelX17, but it can also be made using other versions of PSP.
Since version PSP X4, Image>Mirror was replaced with Image>Flip Horizontal,
and Image>Flip with Image>Flip Vertical, there are some variables.
In versions X5 and X6, the functions have been improved by making available the Objects menu.
In the latest version X7 command Image>Mirror and Image>Flip returned, but with new differences.

Coming here, my third work was too dark for my taste,
then I applied the Graphics Plus>Cross Shadow Filter, with the standard settings,
to give a little more clarity.
For this reason you may find my work slightly different from yours.
You can do the same, if necessary.
