Your OWN brand of CHOCOLATE!

Okie, enough about blog spats! I'll teach you how to make your own brand of chocolate! In photoshop of course - I dowan anybody to burn their kitchen down. :P

1) Open New Document. -_-" (Like duh..) A size like 300 pixels by 900 pixels would be nice.

2) Add New Layer. Click on New Layer. Name it Chocolate.

3) Use the Rectangular marquee tool to make a selection like this.
