Tutorial using the Ladybug Garden scrap kit by Ditzy Dezigns.

Supplies Needed

Paint Shop Pro - I am using X5, but any should do

The Ladybug Garden scrap kit by Ditzy Dezigns, which can be purchased at Scrappin Dollars HERE

Any color or gradient and font 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.)***

Okay....Let's get started!!!! :)

Open paper #7 and reduce the size to fit the tag. Now find the the girl #1 and open her, then reduce her size by 55% and place her on the bottom left area. Next, find and open the girl #2, and again reduce by 55%, and place on bottom right. Find and open the bow #3 and reduce it by 25% and place in the two top corners. Now find and open the fence #2, and reduce by 40%, and place it behind the posers, on the left side of the tag...leave an open space on the right side. Now find and open the house #1 and reduce its size by 40% an place in the open space on the right side of the tag, next to the fence.

Find and open the grass, and place it across the bottom of the tag...increase the width of the grass until it goes completely from one side to the other side. Find and open the tree, and reduce by 20%, and place it behind the fence, between the 2 girls. Next find and open the sun, and reduce it by 90%, and place it in the top right area. Now find and open the potted flower and reduce it by 60%, and place it in the center of the girls.

Now find and open the rainbow, and reduce the size by 40% and place it behind the house, with the star on the tree. Now find and open the spring word art, and leave the size as is, and place it at the top of the tag...stretch it until it goes from one side to the other...use the side layers menu and slide the bows back to the forefront. Now find and open the swirl #1 and reduce its size by 80%, and place on the front bottom right area...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the front bottom left side. Next, find and open the fairy, and reduce her size by 85% and place on the left of the tree, on the fence.

Now find and open the ladybug #2 and reduce her size by 95% and place her o the inside part of the swirl, and then duplicate and flip her horizontally and place on the inside of the swirl on the left. Now find and open the bird #1 and reduce its size by 90% and place it on the tallest fence post. Now let's add some sparkle to this tag to liven it up a bit! Find and open the sparkles #1 and leave the size as is and place it on the top left area...duplicate and flip it horizontally and pace on the top right area. Now find and open the sparkles #2 and leave the size as is, and place in the center, then place it at the bottom and duplicate and flip it vertically and place it on the bottom left..duplicate again and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom right area. Lastly, find and open the fairy dust, and leave the size as is, and place it at the top. now duplicate and flip it horizontally.

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.
