PLEASE NOTE:
None of my tutorials or Scrap Kits are allowed to be used for tags being bought by My PSP Tubes or for any other form of monetary gain.
This goes against the artists TOU that I use for my tuts and against my TOU.
This was written for psp 9 but will work in other versions.
For this tutorial you will need
Paint Shop Pro
Neology Checkered Tiling here.
Font of your choice.
Tube of your choice.
I am using the wonderful art of Amano Jyaku. You can purchase a license to use his work from CILM.
Ok we are ready to start.

Script provided by Dynamic Drive.
Step 1:
Open a new image 550 x 450 transparent image.
Flood fill with white and go to effects Neology Checkered Tiling.
Use the following settings.
Cell Amount = 8
Alpha toggle = 255
and press ok.
Use your crop tool to cut off the part squares we have at the bottom and right hand side.
Depending on what tube you are using you can now choose to colour either the
black or the white squares.
Decide which ones you want to colour and use your magic wand to select them all. (Hold down the Shift key to select more than one)
When they are all selected set your foreground to a darker colour from your tube and your background to a light matching
colour from your tube.
On your foreground colour, click on it and select Gradient/ foreground background.
Angle 0
Repeats 1
Flood fill the selected areas.
Deselect.
Step 2:
Go to image add border
Black 4
White 4
Black 10
Select the outside black border with your magic wand and fill with your gradient but change the angle to 90.
Minimize this image for now as you will need it again later.
Step 3:
Open a new image 400 x 350
Flood fill with your gradient but put the angle back to 0
Image add border
White 2
Black 10
White 3
Copy and paste this as a new layer on the original checkered image.
Step 4:
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and resize if necessary.
Add a drop shadow of your choice.
The one I used was
Vertical = 5
Horizontal = 5
Opacity = 100
Blur = 19
Colour = Black
Step 5:
This step is optional.
Activate raster one and add a new layer.
Add an accent tube that matches your tube to this layer.
Use your selection tool to draw a rectangle the size of the gradient behind her and go to selections invert.
Activate the accent layer and hit delete.
This will remove any bits that go over the edges.
Step 6:
Add artists copyright.
Add a new layer and add your name using your favourite font. Size will depend on the font used.
Set the background to your gradient and the foreground to the darker colour from it.
While still selected add a new raster layer and move below the name layer.
Go to selections modify expand by 2 and fill with black.
On the black name layer add the same drop shadow we used on the tube but change the blur to 7.
Layers merge all visible and resize if desired.
