some of the tubes Sweety uses were received in sharing groups
or found on the web
if one of them is your property, please let us know
a link to your site will be added
they are provided as « single-use » for this tutorial

any resemblance with another one would be pure coincidence

Thank you to the tubers for their great job

Thanks to Sweety for her kind permission
Sweety works with PSPX2, I work with PSP2018, but it is possible to use another version.
tubes without tuber‘s watermark are ALWAYS stolen tubes
Please respect the tuber ‘s work
do like me : choose tubes with a watermark and give credit to the tuber
Thank you !  have fun....
