This tutorial was written with PSPX8 and translated with PSPX9 and PSP2020, 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.

open a new transparent image 950 x 550 pixels, and use the selections from disk.

Author's Note: Example to match one of my landscapes to your colors:
Fill the alpha channel with your chosen color
Add a new layer, select all, paste the landscape into the selection
Change the layer's blend mode to Hard Light, and lower the opacity as needed.

Merge and copy/paste as a new image and save it for later.
You can also use the Adjust Variations filter

and your background color to #78dbd1.
