Santa's Workshop

For this tut you will need

My Supply Folder

I've done this one a little bit different then my other tuts
instead of loading the selection from disc
you will be loading from the
ALPHA CHANNEL
there are NO selections
everything you need is on the canvas included in the zip
please have your layer pallet open

I have included 3 tinsel tubes for you to choose from Red, Blue or Silver
I will be using the Red one
please instal the one you want to use to your tubes
so you can use it with the tube tool

start by opening the canvas in the zip
the first layer is blank
you can use it as your background or delete it
