I changed the hue and saturation to 0 and then used
the manual color correction tool to make it red (and also
added a gold version) to my tag, I c/p pasted as a new

it to the right by 26% I pasted the gold version resized
the same and then rotated it to the right by 20% and
then mirrored it, I also added element 55 resize to 11%
with my other ornaments, when you are happy with
your tag, add a dropshadow of choice and a 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
