This tutorial is not hard to do and is repetitive..After 
doing a couple of the letters, you will fly through
 this tutorial..
:-) 
You will need the zip with the fairy and the font I used 
and also the inner bevel preset...I have included the
PSP 7  bevel preset and the PSP 8 bevel preset....
You can use a fairy of your choice if you have one and a font 
of your choice also....
I am placing them here for your convenience !
Place the bevel preset in the Presets Folder in 
Paint Shop Pro...
Zip Below

it wider depending on the length of your name..

 name using a color of your choice...Effects,
Inner Bevel...Use the Initial Bevel-KB that you
downloaded...

letter of your name...Repeat the Inner Bevel...
Continue adding the new layers and beveling
 and finish your name..

placing her comfortably....Click on the second letter
and go to Colors, Colorize...Change the color....Just
play with the hue to obtain different colors...Depending
how heavy you want the saturation, the higher you set
the number the deeper the color....I had my saturation
