I usually just open up the pics I'm using on Photoshop and start messing around with them. Its fun to see what you end up with. I've never used a tutorial either...just keep messing around with PhotoShop and figuring out new things. I recently found a PSP7 CD that I didn't know we had in my brother's room, and installed it, but I can't seem to figure out how to use the program. I haven't really messed around with it much either, but it seems so confusing. I'll stick with Photoshop for now.

Basically, I just get the pics I need, make a background, and then go from there. I never have an idea of how I want it to look before starting. It just turns out how it turns out at the end.

Your new siggy is beautiful btw.
