 Flaming Pear Primus Filter you can download here.
It's a free filter, but you have to request a code.
Install the filter in your folder Plugins in PSP.
What you need to complete this tutorial is in this ZIP.
Open the Easter Hoppy Font or install in your fonts folder in Windows.
Unzip MD-Shell.bmp to your folder Patterns in PSP.

Save your work often!

Let's go. Good luck.

1. Foreground style pattern, search the MD-Shell.
Background color #E7DCCC.

2. Open new image 350 X 350 transparent.
Use your  click somewhere on your image with the letter "z".
Look for the Easter Hoppy font in the drop down menu. Use size 250.

3. Convert to raster. Rename Primus ei or egg.

4. Selections > all. Selections > float.
Effects > Plugins > Flaming Pear > Primus.

Click one of the buttons.
I used the first, but take another one if you want.
Selections > none.

5. With your wand, click somewhere outside the egg.
Selections > invert.

6. In your layer palette, you must have activate layer 1(= blue).
Rename MD-Shell.

7. Unlock your foreground style (with the typing you did lock ).

Fill your selection with MD-Shell.

8. New raster layer > rename cut-out.
Effects > 3D effects > cut-out.

Repeat with -8 and -5.
Selections > none.

9. For the next step, activate your layer Primus ei or egg.
Click with your wand in one of the eyes.
Hold your shift key and select the other eye as well.

10. Selections > modify > expand 1 pixel.

11. Activate layer MD-Shell (bottom).

12. Effects > 3D effects > inner bevel.

13. If you like to make some eggs in different colors:

Shift D. Repeat for more copies.

Selections > invert > colors > colorize.
Try different colors.
Green > Hue 100. Blue > 150. Red > 255 etc.
With saturation you can choose the brightness of your color.
Saturation 10-75 gives a kind of old Photo color 
and 100-255 gives very bright colors.

Satisfied? Merge visible.

Your Primus Cartoon Egg is done.
I hope you did like this one. I know I did.
