Let's begin!

Open a 600x600 new image canvas – transparent background.

Open your tube, and re-size to 442x510.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open element 92 and re-size to 396x394.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Move below your tube.

Position as you like.

Using your selection tool, click inside element 92.

Go to selections, modify, expand, and expand by 5 pixels.

Open element 30 and re-size to 640x345.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Go to selections, invert. Hit delete on your keyboard.

NO NOT DE-SELECT!

Copy element 30 again and paste as a new element onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Hit delete on your keyboard.

Open paper 12.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Hit delete on your keyboard.

Move paper layer to the bottom.

Open element 7 and re-size to 226x188.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Hit delete on you keyboard.

Got to selections, and select none.

Bring your frame layer to the top, just below your tube layer.

Select your paper layer.

Open element 6 and re-size to 121x84.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Duplicate.

Merge down.

Now, we're going to duplicate that image as many times as we need to so we can cover that paper with it. So however many times you need to duplicate that one image and move each one to cover that paper so that it looks like there is snowflakes all over it, then that is what you do. Just duplicate that image that we just did of element 6 together until you cover the paper we did in the previous step. :)

Once you have done that, merge all those layers together.

Duplicate once more. Move that layer to the top just under the frame but above the fence (element 7).

Kinda move it a little so it's not lined up with the other snowflakes.

(look at my tag above)

On both layers, using your eraser tool, erase any of the snowflakes that are sticking outside of the frame.

Open element 49 and re-size to 90x26.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Position as you like.

Open element 36 and re-size to 67x48.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto canvas.

Positon as you like.

Open element 26 and re-size to 299x359.

Open paper 2 and re-size to 600x600.

Copy and paste as a new layer to canvas.

Move that layer to very bottom.

Apply mask of choice.

I am using MPM_mask62 by Millie's PSP Madness.

Merge group.

Now add a drop shadow to all your elements and tube (except for the paper) to your liking.

Adding a drop shadow will make your tag pop instead of giving it that flat look.

I used these settings: 3, 2, 60, 5.

Merge visible.

Add your copyright information and your license number to your tag.

I use 'Arial' font size 8 to do mine in the color black. I also used the plugin of Eye Candy Gradient Glow with a width of 5 to go around my copyright and license information in the color choice of ffd1cf.

Merge visible layers together. Give your creation a name and save as a blank copy.

Now, add a name to your tag in your font of choice.

I used font 'J'aime bien le Dimanche' in size 48. Color choice was 683f34.

Merge down and re-save.
