10. Go to the color palette and select white as the solid backround color.
11. Right click several times (In the same spot) in the center of your sphere. You should now have a sphere with a single bold white dot in the middle.
12. Select the retouch tool and set it to match these settings:
13. Shape: Round, Size: 20, Hardness: 0, Opacity: 100, Step: 25, Density: 100, then choose smudge on the bottom drop down menu.
14. Now, click and drag from the middle of the sphere out to make the shape of a flame (It may take a lot of smudging). When you come out with a flame shapped gray image go on to step 15.
15. At the top of PSP click Colors-->Adjust-->Curves and match the the settings shown in the screen shots in the next 4 posts. Remember, your fire will not look like mine does in the window until you've done all of the last 4 steps.
Match these settings for blue and your image will look like fire. Click OK and you're done! Now save your work!
If you have any questions on the steps please post. Also, you can alter a lot of the settings listed here for different outcomes. For example, you can create blue fire if you want
Here's a fireball I created using this method. You can also create a bunch of fire by creating 4 or 5 gray spheres instead of one and then adding white dots in the middle of each of them. Then do the smudging and create a huge fire.

2. make a new image, black background, and add some text (white text)
3. do the wind filter 2 times right and 2 times left
4. rotate the image 90deg clockwise and repeat step 3
5. rotate the image 90deg a-clockwise

10. Voila (i think)
