Open a new image 650x650 and flood fill white,
I am trying to make my tags smaller so I am going to start with
a bit smaller work area, this is your choice if you want
to make a larger tag.

Open moo_birthdaywishes_paper11 c/p as a new layer and resize
by 80% apply a mask of choice, I used Mask 49_Kris

Now open moo_birthdaywishes_funkyframe c/p as a new layer
resize by 90% grab your magic wand and click inside the opening
expand by 9 and then invert, now open moo_birthdaywishes_paper7
c/p as a new layer below the frame layer resize by 80% and hit
delete, select none. Now lets open moo_birthdaywishes_curlyqribbon
c/p as a new layer, bring to the top and place along the left of the frame.
rotate to the left by 12% resize by 65% now open
moo_birthdaywishes_swirlydoodle and c/p as a new layer, resize this by 85%
and place along the bottom edge of the frame.
Now lets open moo_birthdaywishes_clustercandies c/p as a new layer
arrange this layer right above the mask layer and resize by 50%
place this near the top right of the frame, now lets duplicate, flip
and then mirror this, and bring this layer to the top. Now lets open
moo_birthdaywishes_confetti c/p as a new layer and arrange this
layer below the frame but above the fill layer, now mirror this
now lets open moo_birthdaywishes_birthdaycake c/p as a
new layer, resize this by 35% and place near the bottom right
of the frame now open moo_birthdaywishes_birthdaycandle c/p
as a new layer and resize this by 20% and place in the center
of your cake, Now open moo_birthdaywishes_balloonanimal c/p
as a new layer, resize this by 20% and place near your cake
I duplicated mine and also changed the color using hue and saturation
I also rotated it a bit and mirrored it, and place near the top left
of my tag, now add a dropshadow of choice to your elements
and a tube or tubes of choice, hide the whitebackground layer
and merge visible. I did not dropshadow the confetti on my tag.

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
