Janette, Di and BusyBee - you've got U2Us.
BusyBee - I'd be lying if I said Paint Shop Pro was easy - it takes lots and lots of trial and error and experimenting, but it is a lot of fun. There are also some great websites that have easy, step-by-step tutorials on how to achieve different effects. I'm getting a bit better (slowly!) but I've a long way to go yet.
