 tuts are written using this size image
Open pd12-pp-03 c/p as a new layer and apply a mask of choice,

mirrored it, placing this one below the other layer I then
used the change to target brush tool to change the color
of the pencil. I then used the gamma correction tool to lighten
it just a tiny bit, Now open pd12-paperclip c/p as a new layer,
resize by 26% place on the notebook I erased some to look like
it was "Clipped" to a page, I pasted it again and resized again

duplicated and mirrored, placing a few near my pencils.
I also changed the colors of a few to match the tag colors.

above the mask layer, resize by 85% two times now change
the hue and saturation to 0 and 0 go to your manual color

Tab of the frame, now add a dropshadow and tube of choice,
and also if you want write some notes on the notepad.
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
