FONT used is NOT MARY KATE by Nick's Fonts, which was downloaded
from FontSpace.com.

at www.nicksfonts.com.
Gabrielle Font
For the remaining text I used a Font called GABRIELLE. It can be
downloaded from FontFreak.com and is designed by Dieter Steffmann.
(Note for a newly downloaded Font to be usable on your machine, you must first install it.
Any FONT installed while COREL DRAW is open, will not be visible in the FONT LIST. To correct this,
you will have to restart the COREL DRAW program after Font(s) installation.)

Step 28: Add Remaining Text
Corel Draw X6
Right Aligned Text
Repeat the step to change the color of the HUGGABLE LOVE text Corel Draw X6 Text Properties
Paragraph Align Right
at the top and bottom to our RED from the DOCUMENT PALETTE.
You'll notice that the text at the bottom seems to overlap the RED LAYER.
To fix this, simply click anywhere in the paragraph and adjust the LINE SPACING in
the PARAGRAPH section of the TEXT PROPERTIES DOCKER.
If you have trouble finding it, just look out for this ICON.

Set the LINE SPACING to 80%. So the almost complete flyer should
