1. Start by creating a new image, such as 400x300, white.
2. Set the primary color to orange and the secondary color to red.
3. Click the small triangle next to the fill shape tool to bring up its menu and select rectangle or square (either will work).
4. Go to the top menu settings for your rectangle and adjust the settings.
5. Put a check in 'gradient' - 200 - Vertical - Double.
6. Drag out your rectangle or square on to the white background of your image. Try to stop when you have a nice even gradient of orange and red.
7. Click on the 'polygon selection tool' and click out the shape of a triangle over the gradient. Be sure to double click to close the selection.
8. Go to the small triangle beside the 'clone' button on the layer manager to bring up it's menu and choose 'clone only the selected area on current layer'. Select the square/rectangle layer in the layer manager and delete it with the red colored 'remove current layer' button. This should leave you with just your red and orange triangle on the white background.
  - You could have used the polygon fill tool from the fill shapes menu but this way is a little easier.
9. Add a little definition to the triangle with a white line.
10. Change the primary color to white, click the small triangle beside 'draw shapes' and choose 'line'.
11. Go to the top settings, uncheck gradient and lower the size to 5.
12. Drag a line from the top of the triangle down at an angle to the base, lower the opacity to about half.
13. Place check marks in the layers for the line and the triangle by double clicking them in the layer manager.
14. Click the small triangle beside the 'merge' button on the layer manager and choose 'merge remove'.
15. Go to the top menu - Filter - Embedded filters - water.
16. Place a check mark in 'smoothing' and move the slider to the right (or left) a small amount and click ok.
17. Go to the top menu - Filter - Embedded filters - blur.
18. Place a check mark in 'Gaussian blur' and move the slider a little to the right.
19. Go to the clone tool on the layer manager and click it 5, 6 or many times to make more flames.
20. Select each flame layer in the layer manager then the 'Hand' move/resize tool.
21. Use your cursor to grab the sides of the flame boarders and make each flame a different size. Watch also as you do this you can get some depth with the different flames in front of one another. You can also flip a few horizontally.
22. Refine your graphic. Have some fun by adding a picture, text or whatever and use the green arrows on the layer manager to move your text or picture in to the middle of the flames. Just select the flame layers in front of your object now and lower their opacity some.
23. Prepare to merge: Once you are happy with it, merge - remove all the parts except the background. Then clone the whole layer once again. Select the one (layer) that's in behind the first, go to 'adjust color balance' on the layer manager and turn down the brightness and contrast. Go to the top menu, add some blur, move it a little with the hand tool and lower the opacity. This will give you a small 3D look.
  - The final version has changed the gradient for these ones so there is red at the top and yellow at the bottom, you can experiment with colors, shapes and maybe even some small pieces of flames for effect.
