SAVE AS A .PSP IMAGE
The frame is ready for an image of your choice, and your own embellishments *S*
Just add a new layer and move it under the frame, then copy and paste your image.
Once you have your final result I suggest you save it as a .GIF image
as opposed to a .JPG image which leaves nasty marks on the red areas of the frame.
The .GIF image is so much clearer.
