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 KMILL_Paper2 resize by 18% and c/p as a new layer
apply a mask of choice, I used Artmama's Mask 06

Now lets open KMILL_circleframe, c/p as a new layer, resize by
30% and then again by 80%, now click inside the frame opening
with your magic wand and then expand by 9, now invert and
open KMILL_paper4 resize by 18% and c/p as a new layer below
the frame layer and hit delete select none. Now lets open
KMILL_floralcluster and c/p as a new layer, resize by 18%
place towards the right of your frame, Now duplicate this and
place it in the center of your work area, apply MuRa's Filter
Meister Copies 1.3 with these settings below

Now move this layer to right above your mask layer,
Now lets open KMILL_ribbon2 and c/p as a new layer, resize
by 14% now grab your freehand selection tool and select the
frame part of the ribbon and then delete, Like my example below

now move this layer below your flower layer, do the same with
KMILL_ribbon1, you will then rotate this one to the left 14%,
mirror and flip and place with your other ribbon, Now open
KMILL_wordart c/p as a new layer and resize by 16% and
arrange towards the bottom left of your frame, Now open
KMILL_bunny c/p as a new layer and resize by 16% and
arrange at the end of the word art, I added a slight gradient
glow to my frame, the flowers and the wordart and bunny,
Now 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
