Spring Bunny title image

Welcome to my Spring Bunny lesson.

I hope you enjoy creating this lesson from selections and a tube.

I have included my suction cup file in PSP6 format which is readable for both
PSP6 and PSP7.
For those using PSP5, contact me and I can create the version 5 file for you.

Do email me if you have any problems with my lessons.
(You'll find 4 email buttons on this page.)
Please keep in mind that I do eat, sleep and need to buy food at times
and those events will each keep me away from my email. ;)
