This tutorial was created with PSP2019 and translated with PSPX3 but it can also be made using other versions of PSP.
Since version PSP X4, Image>Mirror was replaced with Image>Flip Horizontal,
and Image>Flip with Image>Flip Vertical, there are some variables.
In versions X5 and X6, the functions have been improved by making available the Objects menu.
In the latest version X7 command Image>Mirror and Image>Flip returned, but with new differences.

Alyciane's message:
At the beginning of the year who doesn't have a place or a dream corner?
This tutorial will reflect it.
I joined the two images that inspired my romantic corner.
But you can choose other images.
For my tube thanks @nn.
