Blue Feather



I wrote this tutorial to compliment the Flapper Tutorial.
I thought the images so pretty.
Tutorial written June21, 2003.
Resemblance to any other tutorial is coincidental.

Thank you to Paula aka KyRed for working out the Spiky Halo
settings in PSP8
I have updated Step 8 to include them
Big thank you Paula
