All Done!!

Great Job =0)

 Now go Have some Fun
And Decorate to your Heart is content remember You
Don't have to Keep any of these Color's that I used
If you want to change a color or Flood Fill with a Pattern
Go back to that Layer and re load that .sels from Disk for that
And Flood fill with Pattern or Color Also Don't Merge Your
House till you are sure where you would Like things to Go
Like if you want to put some chairs on the Porch

Or anything on your House
Don't merge that so you will be able to add things there

Also if you would Like And you are done with your

House you can merge it resize it
And then Add it to a Scene that way you can Place the House
Back in to a Scene and then add flowers or Paths what ever you
Like Always Keep a Layer Open for what ever you would like to
Add a layer Up will always be things In Front of the House

Layers down will always be things In back
Just have
Fun! Fun! Fun!
