Lets Begin
 
Part 1 - The Tile
 
 
Open your tube in PSP
Choose 2 colors from your tube
First make a 200 x 200 Transparent Image
 
Floodfill your tile with one of your colors
Go to Effects Plugins Redfield- Lattice Composer

Note
Make a New Image Transparent
with these Dimensions
1024 x 300 ( I use this setting for Outlook Express Stationary)
1280 x 300 (This i use for Incredimail Stationary)
I find for Incredimail that it is better since the
new resolutions for a Flat Screen Monitor show the side border
on the right size too.
 
 
Now to Begin
 
 
Make a New Image Transparent
(which ever you choose above)
 
Set your material palette Foreground to Pattern
Choose your Tile you just made.
Use settings below
 
 
Floddfill your new Image
 
Make your tube active
Go to Edit - Copy
Edit Past as New Layer
 
Move your tube to the left.
Place it where you think it looks good
 
Go to Effects 3D Effects Drop Shadow
 
 
Vertical and Horizontal - 2
Opacity - 80
Blur - 5
Color - Black
 
Add a New Layer and add your watermark
Go To Layers - Merge - Merge All Flatten
 
That is it you are Done
Save your stationary  strip as a jpg.
