This tutorial was translated with PSP09, 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.

Material by Narah
Note by Colybrix: the Alpha Whitney file contains selections
that will help you change the color of the background squares, if you like.
On my second version, I did Brightness-Contrast on all layers,
to lighten the background.
