Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white,
I Like to have room to work, this is your choice,
My tuts are written using this size image

open pd11-pp-01 c/p as a new layer and apply a mask of choice
I used gh_grungeframe11mask_bunnysatticdotcom
and good square frame type mask will work well

Now lets open pd11-tree2 and c/p as a new layer,
open pd11-border-01 c/p as a new layer, resize by 85%
I used my raster deform tool to stretch it out a tiny
bit and then squished it a bit, place near the bottom
of the frame area, now using the selection tool select
the inside frame area on your tag, and then open
pd11-town c/p as a new layer, I resized mine up to
120%, now invert and hit delete and select none, move
this layer below your tree layer (right above your mask)
Now open pd11-branch-01 c/p as a new layer and resize
by 55% place towards the bottom left of the tag, duplicate
and mirror, now rotate to the left by 90%, duplicate and
mirror, make a small cluster of all these on the left of the
frame area, now open pd11-frame-01 c/p as a new layer
below your greenery, resize by 35%, now lets open
pd11-flower-01 c/p as a new layer and resize by 45%
now open pd11-heart-01 c/p as a new layer below
the flower and resize by 45% and then rotate to the
right by 45% now open pd11-socks c/p as a new layer
and resize by 45% and place as the top layer, now open
pd11-string-01 c/p as a new layer below your heart
layer, now open pd11-snowman c/p as a new layer
this time it is at the top again, resize by 55% and
then mirror, now open pd11-ribbon-02 c/p as a new
layer and then mirror, resize by 55% and place on
the little socks, now open pd11-print-01 c/p as a new
layer right above your tree layer, place towards the
top left, duplicate and mirror and place towards the
bottom right, now add a dropshadow and tube or tubes
of choice, hide the white background layer and merge
visible.

I always resize my finished tag BEFORE adding my copyright info,
it makes this seem clearer, add your name and copy right
information and Save the way you prefer to save tags,

I hope you enjoyed this tut
