No Scraps - Patriotic Blinkie

Patriotic Blinkie

 

This tutorial was written by me on June 12, 2013, using my own ideas. Any resemblance to others is coincidental and accidental. This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of psp and is written in PSPX.

Please leave some love when downloading supplies. The artists/creators work hard to make/share their work with us, so let's be appreciative. Please use all correct copyright/license information and follow all TOU’s. Let’s give credit where credit is due.

As always, tutorials are only a guideline. If you don't have the exact supplies, use ones you have or ones you choose.

Supplies:

Now for the tedious part:

Duplicate the white and blue stars once each

Move the duplicate white star to the right leaving a space between it and the red star

Repeat for the duplicate blue star placing it to the right of the white star

Repeat duplicating and placing each star evenly spaced apart, staying  in the red,white, blue order around the canvas
