MickeysBuddy thank you for the compliment. I use Paint Shop Pro. There is a tutorial on the site below. I did not write it but it is the same way that I color the pictures. I looked for one already posted so I wouldn't have to type it all out.

I usually use the magic wand selection tool instead of the lasso.
I think the picture that you made looks very nice.
