Tube-
Paste tube of choice on to canvas.  Resize if needed.  Add copyright.

Buttonize-
Okay this part is completely optional but i think it looks pretty cool.  Merge the tag altogether.  Now go to buttonize and use the following settings: 34, 46, 96 a dark blue transparent checked.  Repeat this one more time.  You might want to close the copyright layer before you merge them and just merge visible, this way you can move it if it gets covered.


Finishing Touches-
Add name and save as a pspimage.  Add any effects that you want.  Resize as needed.  Save as a png and you are done.
