Elements:
All elements are resized by 75% unless otherwised stated.  See my tag for placement.

01.  Paste Element 77 on to the canvas.  Resize.  With magic wand click on the inside of the frame and paste Paper 03 on to the canvas invert and hit delete on your keyboard.

02.  Paste Element 75 and resize twice.  Free rotate 30 degrees to the left.  Duplicate mirror the copy and move to the left.

03.  Paste Element 27 and resize.  Duplicate and mirror.  Duplicate the original one more time resize and free rotate 30 degrees to the left.  And now on the first copy layer duplicate and resize and free rotate 30 degrees to the right.

04.  Paste Element 24.  Move to the bottom of the frame.  And place in front of the bigger flowers.

Tube:

Tube of choice.  I'm using the amazing artwork of Keith Garvey.  This is his LE for April 2013.  Any tube will do.  Please do not use with out a proper license.

01.  On the paper layer select all, float, de float, and a new raster layer and paste CU of tube (if yours comes with one), into selection.  Deselect.  Add a gradient glow of choice.  My settings for this are glow width of 3 (the rest on the basic tab remains the same).  For the color I just picked a color out of the tube.  You can move the arrows to where ever you would like.  Add a drop shadow of choice or use my settings.

02.  Paste your main tube resize to desire size.  And place just in front of Element 24.  You might need to move Element 04 behind the tube but that will all depend on the size of your tube.


Finishing Touches:

Add your copyright and name (do not convert the name to a raster yet).  Save as a psp.  Now convert to raster.  With crop tool crop the canvas down to size.  Now if its still to big (most forums dont like having tags bigger then 600) you might want to re size your tag).  Save as a png and you are done.  You can add any embellishments to the name that you want.  I like adding eye candy, inner bevel, and drop shadow to mine.
