on the left next to the flower tube. NOTE: You will NOT see the
text of the brush, that's ok, we're going to emboss it now

17. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse over the
brush script once, you will see the text show immediately. If you
want to emboss more, run over the text once more. If you think it's
to much, just use the UNDO button.
