~*~*~* NOTE: I did this tutorial using a different shade of red, as well as the pink/purple in the second tag below and I could not get it to select the color. It kept selecting the entire background. So I skipped the magic wand part and just went to Select All then followed directions for selecting color. This step really isn't necessary, tho, as it barely changes the look of the tag, so you can leave this step out completely if you like.*~*~*~
