If you were to work with traditional paper scrapbooking, you would likely own and use some punches that would create cutouts on your papers, so why not do the same with your PaintShop Pro?
These brushes can be used as punches if you use them with the Eraser tool but you can also use them with the regular Brush tool to add printed designs on your papers.

As a sampler, I used Brush #12 to punch out the middle area but added extra frames on new layers to then merge them together. I colorized with gold dust and added a bevel for a more 3D effect.

Whether you are celebrating St-Patrick's day or not, you might want to add a shamrock shape to your project.
As a sampler, I created one green shamrock for you with a little lacy ribbon (which is also included).
Where can you find your favorite cereals in digital form to use on your next project? If someone has made an element out of cereal, will they fit your particular need? Did you need a frame? a scatter? large or small?
For a free sample, I created some wide-bottom digits out of acrylics and filled them with 5 different types of cereals.
Do you like droopy bows? They can be a fun change from the standard "straight" bows that we see all over, but how do you get something that will match your project?
For a fun Valentine project, you can use this droopy bow made of a custom heart ribbon. This was a simple ribbon made and then, I ran the script on it. That is all. It is now yours to use in your layout.
With these picture tubes, you can add a single link or a whole chain of linked hearts to your project. You can draw them as long as you want them, and you can also place them along a path for a very regular arrangement.
I created two large frames with a rose gold chain of hearts with the VectorTube script to follow the exact shapes drawn. Each frame is about 3000 pixels in height so you can resize them as needed for your photo or your project.
It is always fun to get some random patterns as they are... well... always different from one another. But they are hard to create from templates since they would have the same pattern even if the colors can change.
Since Valentine Day is coming up, I thought of making some papers using reds as a starting color. So you have three full-size papers that will be perfect for your Valentine projects (you can also use the darker one for Christmas photos!)
Do you have a sweet tooth? Whether you do or not, having some digital candies to use to embellish various projects can be fun, and even more if you can choose the color palette and even the text on them. Once you have a series of candies, you can even export them as picture tubes to scatter them around.
As a sample, I created chocolate candies with the whole alphabet, so you can write names and places with them.
Although there are many scripts in the store for small or medium size bows, sometimes, you need a larger one to match your project.
Since it is the holiday season, you might want to embellish some Christmas cards, layouts or posters, so I created two bows for you in red and green colors. Each bow is left with unmerged layers (and shadows) for you to customize further if you want.
Licorice might come in traditional green, red and black, but with PaintShop Pro, you can create some in any color. That is what was done here, and using some holiday colors, you have some calorie-free licorice. You can have strands as long as you want and in any shape too.
Since the year is coming to an end, maybe you will want to write a date with a sweet licorice? You can use these large digits to do so. Each one is about 1000 pixels high. Fill in the center with any color, or leave it empty if you want. Or, why not add more candies or glitters or even confetti?
Christmas is a time to decorate and some of those ornaments will be glass balls with delicate designs.
As samplers, I created six white and silver Christmas balls for you to use in your next holiday project. Each one is about 900 pixels wide so you can resize them if needed.
