Graphics help please?

There is a 'new' craft product on sale called Flippix and basically it comprises of two images which are in alternate strips, so that when you score and then concertina them like a fan, from one side you can see the whole of one image and from the other angle you can see the other image (hope you are following so far!). I am trying to recreate this with my own images. I have got Paint Shop Pro on my pc, but am not very good with it. I have managed to get two same size images and then add the vertical blinds texture to them both, but I am now having trouble, merging them? can anyone tell me if this is indeed possible to do on a home pc and I am right in what I have done so far and what do I need to do to be able to achieve this effect. Many thanks

it may be easier if you do this.

Make sure both images are the same size

copy the first image and paste it over the second image as a layer

use a history brush or eraser that has had a square shape assigned to it to cut away the vertical sections alternately

This should leave you with two pictures alternating in vertical strips
