For this tutorial we will be making the time-out girl, I also have a tutorial on how to make the boy...
You will need to download my Girl Selections and unzip them to a folder of your choice.
If you are doing both tutorials, you must save the boy and girl selections in seperate folders. some of the selections are named the same for both kids.
This was made using Paint Shop Pro 7
Here are the tiles I used to make the girl but you can use any tiles or colors you want
These kids were inspired by Su :-) Thank you for the idea Su!
Both of these kids were made on one layer. There are not that many selections...
