I rotated mine to the right by 15% and then erased part so it looks like the ribbon is crossing over it. When you are happy with your tag add a dropshadow of choice to your elements and a tube or tubes 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 smiles christy Ü
