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.

right above the mask layer and then resize by 50% place towards

to the right by 25% and placed it along the bottom of the frame
now open xcd-lab-flowerspray, c/p as a new layer, resize by 45%

duplicate a few times and scatter them with your greenery
when you are happy with your tag add a dropshadow of choice
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
