Open a new image 750x750 and flood fill white,
I Like to have room to work, this is your choice,
My tuts are written using this size image
This tut I actually used 900x900 due to the shadow
on the elements I choose. so I would have room to
work and move them around without messing up
the shadow.

On this tut I used a color that matched my tubes for
my mask layer, (a red and a pinkish color) add a new
layer and fill with color of choice, resize this layer by
95% and apply a mask of choice, I used Vix_Bigmask008

I then used the deform tool to expand it out a bit, I resized it
by 80% and mirrored it, then duplicated and moved one up
to the left and one down towards the right,

Now lets open Natali_designs_xmas10add_frame1 c/p as a
new layer and resize by 30% and then rotate to the left by 6
Now grab your magic wand and click inside the frame and expand
by 9, invert, open natali_designs_xmas10add_paper6b resize by
19% and c/p as a new layer below the frame and hit delete,
select none, now lets open Natali_designs_xmas10_snowflake5
c/p as a new layer, above your mask layers, resize by 40% and
place near the top left, I duplicated mine and rotated on to the left
by 15% and duplicated that one and mirrored it placing it near
the bottom left, I then added noise to all three at about 25%
now lets open Natali_designs_xmas10add_star5-sh, c/p as a

my tag, I only added a dropshadow to my tube and the
snowflakes, and my name on my tag, add a tube of choice
hide the white background layer and merge visible.
