Let's make an Easter Bunny! :-)
You will need Paint Shop Pro
this was done using version 7.
You will need Eyecandy Jiggle for this.
My Bunny Selections save these
in a folder of your choice.
Open a new image 300 x 550
Name your first layer body
go to "selections" "load from disk" and open the body.sel
Fill with the color you want your bunny, I used #DFC193
go to "selections" "float" and then "effects" "3d effects"
"cutout" and apply these settings...

deselect and go to "effects" "noise" add 3% uniform noise
then "effects" "plugins" "Eyecandy" and apply this Jiggle

Add a new layer and call it foot1, load the foot1.sel
fill with the same color, "selections" "float" and
apply the same cutout, but change the blur to 15.5
deselect and add 3% uniform noise, then apply the same jiggle
Add a new layer, name it foot2, load the foot2.sel
fill with same color, "selections" "float" and apply
the same cutout. Deselect and add 3% uniform noise
and apply the same eyecandy jiggle
We will be repeating these steps for the whole bunny

Add a new layer, name it foot3, open the foot3.sel
fill with the same color, "selections" "float"
apply the same cutout, deselect and add 3% uniform noise
and the same eyecandy jiggle
Just a note... When you are finished with all the steps
for each layer, you can merge your visible layers if you want

fill with the same color, "selections" "float"
apply the same cutout, deselect and add 3% uniform noise
apply the same eyecandy jiggle
Add a new layer, name it hand2, load the hand2.sel
fill with the same color, "selections" "float"
apply the same cutout, deselect and add 3% uniform noise
apply the same eyecandy jiggle
Add a new layer, name it hand3, load the hand3.sel
fill with the same color, "selections" "float"
apply the same cutout, deselect and add 3% uniform noise
apply the same eyecandy jiggle

fill with the same color, "selections" "float"
apply the same cutout, deselect and add 3% uniform noise
apply the same eyecandy jiggle

fill with a pink color, I used #FFCBCB, deselect and
go to "effects" "blur" "Gaussian Blur", change the blur=2

Add a new layer, name it ears, open the ears.sel
fill with your same bunny color, I used #DFC193
"selections" "float" and apply the same cutout, but
change the blur to 25, deselect and add 3% uniform noise
apply the same eyecandy jiggle
Add a new layer and name it innerears, load the innerears.sel
and fill with the same pink color, I used #FFCBCB
deselect and apply the same Gaussian Blur of 2
then apply the same eyecandy jiggle

Add a new layer, name it headtop, load the headtop.sel
fill with your same bunny color, I used #DFC193
"selections" "float" and apply the same cutout, but
change the blur to 35, deselect and apply 3% noise
and the same eyecandy jiggle
Add a new layer, name it eyes1, load the eyes1.sel
fill with white, deselect and go to "effects" "blur"
"soften" and then "effects" "3d effects" "drop shadow"
with these settings

Add a new layer, name it eyes2, load the eyes2.sel
fill this with black, deselect, and go to "effects"
"blur" "soften more"
Add a new layer, name it eyes3, load the eyes3.sel
fill this with white, deselect, and go to "effects"
"blur" "soften more"
Add a new layer, name it headbottom, open the headbottom.sel

apply the same eyecandy jiggle
Add a new layer, name it nose1, load the nose1.sel
fill this with black, deselect and "effects" "blur" "soften more"
Add a new layer, name it nose2, load the nose2.sel
fill this with white, deselect and "effects" "blur" "soften more"

Add a new layer, name it cheeks, load the cheeks.sel
fill this with your same pink color and deselect
"effects" "blur" and apply a gaussian blur of 4
Add a new layer, name it mouth1, load the mouth1.sel

Add a new layer, name it tooth, load the tooth.sel

fill this with your same bunny color and go to "effects"
"3d effects" "inner bevel" with these settings

deselect and "effects" "blur" apply a gaussian blur of 1

Now you can merge all your layers if you want,
I used the draw tool at
freehand line, width of 1, antialias checked
a stroke color of #6A5330 and the fill at null
and drew some eyebrows and dots on his nose

Add a new layer and name it egg, load the egg.sel
You can decorate your egg any way you want
I used the paintbrush with these settings
Shape = round
Size = 45
Hardness = 0
Opacity = 100
Step = 1
Density = 100
And used different colors to paint some wiggly lines

then with the egg still selected I added a new layer
and applied a cutout with these settings

Then you can deselect and add another layer,
load the egghighlight.sel and fill with white
deselect and apply a Gaussian Blur of 10

Of course you can do the egg any way you want :-)
I also added some words and used the preset shapes
to add some flowers too.... And you are done!
