Animated Kaleidoscope Sig Tag Tutorial

Termsof use for this tutorial

Sig-Tags, and calling cards. Almost everyone uses them for leaving in guestbooks or personalizing their email. My tutorial for an animated kaleidoscope Sig Tag, can also be used as a calling card and placed in a guestbook. They are truly pretty and very unique! by following this tutorial, you will have your own sig-tag calling card. I have kept it as simple as possible. The only thing you need is time, patience, concentration, and of course, Paint Shop Pro. I have provided a few images for you to work with and follow along in this tutorial.

Your Kaleidoscope base

To begin with, you will need a base for your kaleidoscope. If you want to make your own that's fine. I will tell you step by step how to make one, or you can use a simple graphic. The nice thing about these is you can make them from about any jpg you want to use. To start off, below are three bases you can right click and copy to use. If you choose to use one of these, simply go to "Making the Kaleidoscope Effect"

To make your own base, start with a new image 200 X 200, white background. A tube downsized fairly small works good for this.. Use something like a flower or beads. Designs that are very complicated don't always come out well. After making your base, duplicate it 7 times. We need 6 to work with and one as an extra in case it is needed.
