~Here We Go~

Open a New Canvas, approx. 650x650 (room to work; re-size later); fill with white.

Copy and paste Ele22

Copy and paste Ele48 below frame; re-size 80%. Position where you like. Duplicate; mirror; position.

On frame layer get Magic Wand. Click inside frame area; selections; modify; expand by 3; invert. Select leaves layer; hit delete. Select none - repeat for the other side of frame.

Add drop shadow to leaves; erase any that may be outside of the frame.

Open P01; duplicate. On copy Grey-scale the paper. Copy and paste under leaves; re-size paper 70%. With Magic Wand, click inside both areas of the frame; expand selection by 3; invert; hit delete on the Paper layer. Select None.

I wanted a brown shade of paper so I used PSP's Manual Color Correction to #593829.

Hide background layer and Merge visible the frame, leaves, paper layers.

Re-size to suit your Tube/Tag. I re-sized 90%.

Copy and paste Ele49; re-size if you wish; place to the right side below merged layer. Duplicate; mirror. You can move it a little or re-size a tiny bit more so that it's not exactly like the other side.

Copy and paste Ele10; re-size if you wish; place to the right side below Ele49.

Copy and paste Ele47; re-size if you wish; place to the right side above merged layer.

Copy and paste Ele79; re-size if you wish; place to the left side above merged layer.

Add any other elements from the kit that you wish.

Copy and paste Paper 11 as a new layer; re-size as necessary for your tag.  Apply Mask0172.

• When you re-size, be sure to sharpen as needed.
• Add Drop Shadow to your liking.
• Delete the white layer.
• With all other layers visible, Crop to Merged Opaque.
• Re-size; All Layers to your desired tag size.
• Now add your Credits. Adding them after resizing your tag will ensure that they remain crisp; clear; and easy to read.
