Click on the Pen tool

Click on the node half way down the outer edge of the flipper.  Hold down the left mouse button and drag the node up and out a little from the penguin's body  - as shown by the black arrow on this node in picture 1.

Next, click on the node at the bottom of the flipper.  Hold down the mouse button and drag this node a small distance down and in towards the penguin's body - as shown by the black arrow on this node in picture 1.

To sharpen the tip of the flipper: 

hover the mouse over the point of the arrow going through the node.

when the mouse pointed changes to rounded arrows, hold down the left mouse button and drag the arrow-head up to lengthen it and in towards the edge of the flipper, ending in-line with the edge and pointing straight up.

When you are happy with the positions of the nodes, click the Object Selector tool . (Picker tool in PSP Photo XI)

When you've made all the settings, click OK.

With the Magic Wand tool still selected, click on the RIGHT flipper.  The "marching ants" should disappear from the Left flipper and now be around the Right flipper.

Apply the same Inner bevel as you did to the Left flipper, but change the angle to 230. (Effects menu, 3D Effects, Inner Bevel - change Angle to 230 and click OK.)
