At the top of this page you can download the empty script!
If you want to use the script with outlook express you have to make 2 different backgrounds (seamless)

1 with a striking bright color of your creation, You can add the waterdrops on that with
Eyecandy - Nature - waterdrops , and 1 with a quiet color (white/grey/ecru)
where u use a quiet texture!!!


If you want to use the html script you need beside your image also 2 different seamless backgrounds!
And the creation is ready!

I hope you did enjoy the tutorial as much as i did!
