(You may want to make this larger if you like
I find that this makes a nice small size for
stationery and web pages so it will load up faster.)

2.) Select another color from your image and using
the paint brush tool set at round, size = 1,
RGB value, Hardness = 100, Opacity = 100,
Step = 25, Density = 100.
