according to the version of PSP you use, the results might be slightly differents
don’t hesitate to change blend modes of layers to match your tubes and colors

Hints and Tips
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
image -> Mirror  --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
image ->  Flip  --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
