Ok...let's start!

Open a new image 650X650px white background

Open HunnyB_DaddysPrideAndJoy_SquareFrame1.png, Image>>Rotate Right

Copy and Paste as a New Layer on your blank image

Image>>Free Rotate>> Right 3 degrees, position the frame towards the bottom left of the canvas

Open your tube, copy and paste as a new layer, position on top of the frame so that the legs just hang over the bottom section a bit

On the frame layer...Selections>>Select All, Selections>>Float, Selections>>Modify>>Contract - 1

Make the tube layer active and click on your eraser tool

Erase the section of legs in front of the frame at the bottom...don't worry if you can't get it exact...we are going to cover over this area with some flowers shortly

Duplicate the tube layer, click back on the first one to make it the active layer...we are going to apply a couple of effects here

Adjust>>Blur>>Gausian Blur>>Radius - 10

Effects>>Texture Effects>>Blinds...width 2, opacity 50, color #f283a3, horizontal and light both ticked

Back to top tube layer, apply a drop shadow, I used off set Vertical 2, Horizontal 2, Opacity 35, and Blur 3

Open HunnyB_DaddysPrideAndJoy_Paper7.jpg and resize to about 500px, paste behind frame layer, select and delete the background from around the outside of the frame

Effects>>Texture Effects>>Mosaic - Antique with the following settings: Symmetric Columns 75, Tile Diffusion 0, Grout Width 2, Grout Diffusion 25

Open HunnyB_DaddysPrideAndJoy_CurlyRibbonPink.png, resize to 550px height, copy and paste behind all layers, just after the background, duplicate, mirror and flip, move around till you're happy with where they are

Apply drop shadows with the above settings except put them on new layers....use the Raster Deform Tool (hit d on your keyboard to activate it quickly) on the shadow layers to make the ribbons look like they are coming off the page in different areas, apply a little blur (I set it at 2) to the shadows and lower the opacity (I lowered to 80)

Open HunnyB_DaddysPrideAndJoy_BeadAndSequins1.png and paste behind the ribbons to the top left of the frame, apply only a very slight shadow to these, same settings as above but reduce horizontal and vertical to 1, shadow on the same layer

Make top layer active, open flowers 3 through 8, resize as you wish and scatter along the bottom of the frame, apply drop shadows, offset Vert 2 Hor 2 Opacity 35 and Blur 3

Apply the same drop shadow to the frame

Use the alpha to make phrase of choice down right side of frame...rotate the letters 3 degrees to the right to make them look like they are coming off the frame...I chose to put the word Beauty there and I resized the alpha letters to 75 height to make them fit nicely, apply shadow to the letters

Hide the white background layer (click the eye icon in the layers pallette), merge visible and center the layer with PSP's Center Layer Script, unhide the background layer

**if you can't find your scripts toolbar you may need to set it to show: View>>Toolbars>>Script

Use font of choice to add your name, I used TheNautiGal, position on top of the flowers, rotate 3 degrees right, give it a bevel with the following settings:

Selections>>Select All, Selections>>Float, Selections>>Modify>>Expand - 2, add a new layer behind text and flood fill with white...apply shadow to this layer

Add your watermark and licensing info

Resize the tag as needed for where you want to use it...and you're done! I hope you enjoyed my tut
