around the top purple rectangle 'only' ~ float, defloat. NRL

Change colour of this grey element to pink using
colour changer tool, foreground colour set to #eeb4c5.
Duplicate this element. Drag copy over the 'bottom' of the purple square/rectangle layer.
At this point, we do not need to fill or cover the middle square area.

elem 27 ~ 50%, duplicate
elem 48 ~ 40%
elem 94 ~ 50%

move below larger pillow, slightly left

Duplicate each pillow ~ change copy layer to 'screen' for each pillow
and drop opacity to 40.
I use 'screen' mode frequently to soften/brighten the colour of elements.
9. Add main tube, place below pillow layers.
Resize tube if needed.
This tube has small hearts attached to the png.
I drew a point-to-point selection around some of these hearts
& promoted the selection to a new layer. d/s Resize 50%. Rename this layer 'hearts' to make
them easier to find.
