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 pd-pp-10 c/p as a new layer and add a mask of choice
I used Vix_Mask428 now I added pd-pp-02 c/p as a new layer
and add a mask of choice I used Vix_mask433

Now lets open pd-frame-01 c/p as a new layer, resize by 87%
grab your magic wand and click inside the frame opening
expand by 9 and then invert, open pd-pp-02 c/p as a new layer
below the frame and hit delete, select none. Now open pd-swirl02
c/p as a new layer right above your masks layers, move towards
the top of the frame, duplicate, mirror and flip, now lets open
pd-swirl-01 c/p as a new layer, this time bring to the top and
place along the bottom edge of the frame, now lets open
pd-snowflake-01 c/p as a new layer, arrange below the frame
and above the paper fill, I duplicated and flipped mine and turned
the opacity down to 40 on each, now go to the paper fill layer,
grab your magic wand and click outside the paper layer go back
to the two snowflake layers and hit delete on each, select none,
now lets open pd-wa-02 c/p as a new layer and bring to the
top, add a dropshadow of choice to your wordart and your
frame and a tube 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
