I also discovered, by pure chance, that if I go with the outlines of the "holes" (sections to be removed) in the opposite direction of the main object, I no longer need to create them in a separate vector layer and move them into the main object's vector layer. I can do it directly in the main object's vector layer.
Lesson 4 using PSP. I did not realize how much I had forgotten since the past workshop. I would have liked to have a lot more time in my life to do this workshop. Too many Doctor's appointments. I know that is not an excuse, but it had made me less time. I decided to add a photo of my fur baby on the cup. I have so much more to learn but at least it makes me feel like I have achieved something.

It was the closing of the selected open contours I was missing.
Now to get onto Day 4.
