Now you need to trim down the "dead space". Choose your "Selection" tool, set as rectangle. You should have an outline of marching ants.

Click on "Image" then "Crop to Selection".



Now comes the sparkles part of your globe.

Sparkle Step 1:
Select your Sparkles layer in the layer palette. Select your "Picture Tube" tool and now your sparkle tube with scale set at 20. Now place a few sparkles onto your Sparkle layer.

Sparkle Step 3:
Now you want to save this "image". Go to "File" then "Save As". Save this image as image1 and as a psp format.

Sparkle Step 4:
Hit the "Undo" button once, this will unmerge your layers. Right click on the Sparkles layer and click on delete. Make a new layer and name it Sparkles.

Now follow the Sparkle Steps 1-4 a couple more times. Each time save the "new" image something different. I would recommend doing these steps two more times and naming them image2.psp and image3.psp.
