Ok, here is my first tutorial for review. Sorry it took so long. I wanted it to contain all of the steps - even the ones that are pretty basic for someone completely new.

Here are the images I used:
Goomba Image
Mario Snow Image
Lo-Res Explosion Image
Nintendo Image

Nope, it's my first one ever. Never posted one. That's why it took me a week to do :-)

Thanks AR for the nice words! It was either put up or shut up. After all, I was the one who suggested the winner post a tutorial :-P
