Actually I think I got it, however just curious if once I am able to get a flame rendered, if it is in the wrong spot how can I move that rendered flame to the right position? Or do I have to keep removing and retrying different pen spots until I get it right? Is there an easier way?

Thanks!

If you create the path on it's own layer you can move the flame effect with the move tool

For the pen tool, you need to click once, move your mouse to another location and then click again to draw the path, you can also hold the shift key if you want to draw a straight path
