Antique Bubble Glass Frame

I was inspired to create this tutorial after making a frame for a tutorial image to post to my group PSP_Dynasty. I was playing around and this frame was born, in part. I played around with it a little more and decided to write this tutorial for all the PSP Community to make. I thought it would be a wonderful way to show off your precious photo's of Mom, Dad, and Grandma and Grandpa, or your favorite photo of a loved one.
