Any color or gradient and font of your choosing

Any mask of your choosing

Okay, let's begin. The first thing you will need to do, is to start a new image in Paint Shop Pro (PSP for short). To do this, look at the top left corner, and click on FILE>NEW> a pop up will open...set width and height to 600, make background white, and make sure the transparent box is not checked. Click okay, and you now have a blank size base for your tag, already sized and ready to go.

***(NOTE: there is a layers menu on the right side of your screen..if u do not see it then look up top and click VIEW>PALETTES>LAYERS and it will open up...u use this layer to bring things to the front..say for example u put a shoe on the tag but it went behind a bucket and u want it in front of the bucket...while holding the left click button on your mouse or touch pad down, you would slide the shoe to the layer the bucket is on..it would now be in the front...use this anytime u want to bring something to the forefront.)***

I have chosen a mask from PsP-Pals. Okay, in Paint Shop Pro (PSP) click FILE>OPEN>and open the mask you have chosen, then start a new image FILE>NEW>600x600 and transparent needs to be checked. Choose color or gradient on the right side layers menu; I chose a rainbow pastel gradient...flood fill the new blank image with the color or gradient..the flood fill is the paint bucket shape. Now go to the top layers menu and click NEW MASK LAYER> from image...a pop up opens..click on the title of the mask you chose in the drop down menu. now go back to the side layers menu and click on the square that has the layers combined...right click it then click merge..the merge group..and voila..you have a mask layer now! :) Now, let's add a nice paper to add some color to your tag. To do this, click on FILE>OPEN> find paper #1 and open it, then click on the pick tool on the tool menu on the left (it looks like an arrow)..a white dotted line will surround the paper, now click EDIT>COPY> find the image 1 tab at the top and click on it...you will do this every time to paste new items as you want to keep building on Image 1 (this is your tag), now click EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. Decrease the size to fit. Slide the mask to the layer the paper is on, so the mask is on the top.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Now find the Emma ML1 tube and open her , hide all the layers you do not want to be seen and then merge the visible layers, and then Reduce her size by 55% and center her on the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the big bow and open it, decrease the size by about 80% and place one in each of the four corners, making sure the sides are going opposite directions. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the rainbow and open it it and decrease the size by about 25% and center it on the tag, slide the poser to the forefront. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the sparkle star and open it... reduce the size by 90% and place one in the center of each corner bow..again, make sure the sides are facing opposite directions.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the ice cream sundae and open it, and reduce the size by 15% and place it on the bottom right side. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the rainbow jello shot and open it...reduce it by 80% and place it on the the bottom left side. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the kitty and open it, and then reduce the size by 80% and place it on the left side of the right bottom of the jello shot. Now find and open the ice cream 2 and open it and then, reduce the size by 90% and place it on the left side of the jello shot; use the side layers menu and slide it to the forefront.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the first sparkle (they are pinkish) and open it, and decrease size by 75% and place the sparkles on the tag in quarters...top left quarter, right top quarter, right bottom quarter, and left bottom quarter. Repeat this process with the sparkles #2 and the last sparkles. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the tiara and open it...decrease the size by 97% and place on top of the tube's head. Now find the sundae and open it and decrease the size by 85% and center it in front of the ice cream sundae.

Now find the big bubble pop and open it, and reduce it by 95% and place one on the left side and one on the right side..on the outer corners of the elements there..and one on each side of the rainbow. Now find the candy flower and open it, and reduce the size by 15% and place on the left side of the tag between the kitty and the ice cream. Now find the sparkle heart and open it, and reduce the size by 85% and place on the right on the left top area of the sundae, and on the left on the right top area of the jello shot.

You did it! You now have finished this tag. You will need to add copy wright info to your tag, as it is the law. Finally, add a name in any font and color of your choosing.
