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 the 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 metallic silver 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 #16 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.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Now find the El #59 fence and open it and then reduce the size by 65% and place it on the right side of the tag. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #27 ladder and open it, decrease the size by about 20% and place it on the left side. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #41 and open it and decrease the size by 25% and place it between the fence and ladder. Now open the El#11 and open it, reduce the size by 85% and place one in all 4 corners.

Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #56 the tree and open it, reduce the size by 15% and place on the right back behind the fence (use the side layers menu to slide the fence back to he forefront) and on the left at the top of the ladder. Now Click FILE>OPEN>find the EL #57 clouds and open it...and place one on both sides at the top, making sure they are going in opposite directions. Now click FILE>OPEN> find the EL #58 sun and open it, and then reduce the size by 85% and place on the left of the right cloud.

Now find the El #24 yellow feathers and open it and then, decrease the size by 75% and place one on each side, centered. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the El#36 stick with honey and open it, reduce the size by 75% and place one on top of each of the side feathers. Now open the El #20 big flower and open it, and reduce the size by 45% and place on the left side of the tree. Now find the EL#46 and open it, and reduce the size by 40% and place her on the bottom of the ladder.Now find the EL #44 girl, and reduce it by 40% and place on the right side of the fence, and place it towards the back.

Now find the El #42 and open it, decrease the size by 40% and place on the right side between the other 2 girls. Now find the El#47 and open it, decrease the size by 85% and place it on the top of the tree on the right. Okay now click FILE>OPEN> find the El#48 and open it, reduce the size by 80% and place it on the top of the tree on the right. Now find the EL #31 and open it, and reduce the size by 55% and place on the bottom left, duplicate and flip it horizontally and place it on the bottom right side. Now find the El #33 and reduce it by 85%, and place it on top of the EL 31 leaves on both sides.

Now find the El#34 fairy and open her, and reduce her size by 70% and place her on the top left part of the fence. Now find the El #16 and open it, and reduce the size by 90% and place one in the center of each of the corner flowers. Now find the EL 18 bird and open it and reduce it 80% and place in the right tree by the bird house and slide to the front.

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.
