1: Open the winterpetshop, penguin and penguin 6 tubes in PSP.

2: Open a new transparent canvas 650X500. We can resize when we are done.

Flood with the holid033 pattern.

3: Click on the top of the winterpetshop tube, top. Back to the blank canvas. Paste as a new layer. Move to the bottom right as in my main graphic.

Merge visible.

Rename background.

4: Click on the top of the penguin tube. Copy. Back to the main graphic. Paste as new layer. Position him on top of the pet shop. See below.

Name this layer penguin 1.

Layers duplicate. Name this new layer penguin 2.

5: Move penguin 2 down so as his head is touching the bottom of the feet of penguin 1.

Layers duplicate. Name this new layer penguin 3.

6: Move penguin 3 down so as his head is touching the bottom of the feet of penguin 2 as before.

Layers duplicate. Name this new layer penguin 4.

7: Move penguin 4 down so as he is sitting on the top of the green sign at the side of the store.

Layers duplicate. Name this new layer penguin 5.

8: Move penguin 5 until his left wing is just touching the right wing of penguin 4.

9: Click on the top of the penguin6 tube. Copy. Back to your main canvas. Paste as new layer. Name this layer penguin 6.

Place penguin 6 right under penguin 5 with his head just touching penguin 5's feet. Try to line up the snow on penguin 6 as well as you can with the background so as it looks like his bottom half is buried in the snow.

10: Okay you should now have 6 penguin layers and one background layer if all went well.

11: Click on the background layer and duplicate 5 times so as you have 6 background layers to go with your 6 penguin layers.

Arrange the layers so as you have one background layer with one penguin layer above. X out all layers except for the bottom background layer and the bottom penguin layer as in my graphic.

12: Work your way up merging 1 background and 1 penguin layer. Be sure to X out the merged layer before moving on to the next pair. When you are done you should have 6 merged penguin and background layers.

13: Making sure you are on the top layer with the penguin in the snow, layers new raster layer. Just below the penguin type in your name or required text using a nice winter font. When you are happy with your text merge visible. You should be back to the 6 layers again.

14: Resize as you wish at this point. Remember to sharpen all layers if you resize.

Remove the X's from all the layers and save as a PSP 7 image.
