This tutorial was written by me. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence. Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own. It was written in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.


I am using the artwork of Cute Loot. You need a license to use her tubes. You can buy her work at  The PSP Project

I am using the PTU kit Halloween Witch by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit is exclusive to The PSP Project
