Paint Shop Pro
The Following Colour Chart

Of course you are free to use any colours you want.
Ok we are ready to start.
We will be doing this pixel in layers starting with the bear on the top layer. This allows the shading to work evenly and for you to move things around at the end if you wish.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
We will be be making the Angel Bear shown above. The outlines below have been resized a lot so you can see them clearly.
I have done the outline in several parts, we will be starting with the Bear.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
The colours used for the outline are listed below.
Bear Outline: #8F5635 (Colour 1)
Wing and Halo Outline: #C2A372 (Colour 2)
Nose and Eyes: #000000 (Colour 4)
Highlight on Nose and Eyes: #FFFFFF (Colour 5)

Hide your bear layer and add a new raster layer.
Move this beneath the bear layer and rename it Cloud.

______________________________________
Unhide your bear layer and use your move tool to move the cloud into position under the bear so it looks like the bear is standing on it - see my tag for example.
Duplicate your cloud layer and move the duplicate over to the left of the tag and move it up slightly.
Once happy with it's position duplicate the cloud to the left and go to image - mirror.
Hide all layers apart from your 3 cloud layers and merge those visible.
Unhide the bear layer and add a new layer - rename this layer Star.

Stars
Step 5: - Stars
You will need the following Colour Chart.
Save and then open in PSP
Of course you are free to use any colours you want.
I have shown the count on a black background just so you can see it better.
Make sure you are working on the new star layer and select the brush tool with the same settings we used earlier and draw in the outline shown below.
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the star colour chart (#E8DFC8) and start to draw your star.
We can move it into position once we have drawn it.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Change your foreground to colour 2 on the star colour chart (#CEBB8E) and continue to draw your star using the outline below.
The parts shown in pink are the parts you have just drawn.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Duplicate your star layer as many times as you want and move them around to place your stars wherever you want them.
To finish your tag off set your foreground to colour 2 on the star colour chart (#CEBB8E) and with your paint brush place some 1 pixel dots between the large stars.
These mini stars will show up better on a dark background.

Hide all layers apart from the Gown layer.
