Lit Tags Heart Balloons

I made this lit tag for myself, and I'd like to keep it that way, thanks. Please don't use it without my permission! If you need a lit tag of your own, read on:

A lot of people have been asking me how to make lit tags, so I'll just post some quick directions here, in case you're curious.

If you have Microsoft Paint on your computer (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint), this is how you could make your own. First off, set your working field to 20 pixels wide by 125 pixels high (Image > Attributes). Then, use the colors at the bottom of the screen and the tools on the left of the screen to paint in the blank, white space. When you're done, save it as a PNG file (File > Save As... > Save as type: > PNG(*.PNG) ). Then you can upload it to dA by going to "Edit Profile" in your dA options menu.

Also, I should have mentioned this earlier, but for whatever reason, dA cuts off the bottom 30 pixels of your tag when displaying it alongside your literature deviation. So, when you're designing your tag, keep your art within the 20 pixels wide by 125 pixels high space nearest the top, otherwise you won't be able to see it all.

(dA shrunk the lit tag size requirements from 20x155 to 20x125, so the bottom-thirty-pixels thing no longer applies.)

Hope that helps.
