Tools Needed:
PSP 7
A tube of your choice

This is my first tutorial so if you think I need to make any changes or questions please e-mail me at [email protected]
I am assuming you have working knowledge of PSP

Let's get started
Open a New Image 500 by 500. choose the tube you want. I used the one below

You can right click and save picture as. Thanks to Creo for letting me use her Creddy tubes to make letters or for tutorials. You can also download the tube from here

I resized my tube by 50%. Image / resize. If you use the one from hereit is already resized. Mine looks like this.

Now after you have it the size you want, got to Edit / Copy than Got to Edit / Paste as New Layer. ( Make sure your New Image is back up before you Paste.)
Leave the tube in place

Now click on your text tool> Click inside your New Image so that the text box comes up and choose the color of font that you want to use. I use color #A76666 and the font NiteClub. Make sure Floating and Antialias is checked. Now when you get it the way you want it click ok. Now move your text inside the balloon. When you have it in place then go to Selections / Select None. Now go to Layers/ Merge/ Merge Visible.

Now rename the layer Full Balloon in your layer palette. Go to Edit / Cop then Edit / Paste as a New Layer. Now go to your layer palette and x out the full balloon layer. Make sure layer 1 is highlighted like this
