This is the first time I've ever used photoshop to make anything so it took some time and a bit of help from Rantzien who I give a big thank you and snuggle! :heart: I used two different images one of Hello Kitty's head and a dress from another one. Took me a day to find how to insert an image, I'm such a Photoshop Newbie. ^__^

This was the first try finished with white stars.

I then changed the stars pink and made the image smaller.

This is my final outcome and the one I chose to use as my signature. ^__^

What do you think of my first photoshop signature? :mog:

The one you're using is really nice, one of the best tries on Photoshop! :D Hello kitty just rocks :exdee:

The Hello Kitty image in the darker ones is pretty rough around the edges with a lot of white parts. Also, there are some people who would eat you for not having a border around it, being a sig and all. xP

But considering this is your first Photoshop ever, it's very good.

Yeah... I'm one of the frame/border obsessed guys xD
However, now it looks great with the border (However, I would add a bevel)

Don't add a bevel. They are trying to lure you into the land of filter madness. :)

I like it as it is - no bevel for me! It's simple, and cute! I do recommend downloading some brushes, though but that might just be because I'm not a huge fan of the default PS brushes.

I miss photoshop. I haven't had it for months now! :(
