Paint Program of Choice, I am using PSPX2

Let's begin!

1. Open a new, transparent image 600x600 pixels.

(if you do not wish to have it transparent, flood fill it with the color of choice now)

2. Open all of the supplies you will need into the Paint Program of choice.

3. Choose your background image, bracket mat, paper,etc.

Add a drop shadow.

Now Copy and paste the frame of choice above the background.

Add drop shadow.

4. Using your selection tool, rectangle, trace along the open frame areas, and then go to the layer

BELOW it, and right click and choose "New Raster Layer".

Now with the new, empty layer selected, copy and paste the paper of choice into

selection. Do NOT merge.

6. Copy & Paste your first tube choice ABOVE the frame, as a new layer.
This gives it a "3D" look. Trim any hang-over's from the tube.

Now copy & paste the second tube of choice above the PAPER layer.

Add drop shadow's to the tubes if you wish.

7. Choose a swirl, doodle, or other item of choice and copy & paste that behind the background layer, if you choose to. You could even apply a mask, if you wish.

8. Now build around the frame and background, adding different layers, and shadow's

to give this tag a bit of dimension.

9. Add wording, a Quote, etc. And any copyright information.

Merge all VISIBLE, Add your name and you're done!
