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 transparent, and make sure the transparent box is 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.)***

We will not be using a paper in this tag! Now, let's start building this tag from the bottom up. First, find and open the water #2. Leave the size as is and keep duplicating and flipping it horizontally, until it completely covers the top half of the tag, in a way that you feel looks good. Now repeat the same process on the bottom half of the tag, with the sand #1. Now let's add our tube. Find and open the Blanche tube..hide all layers except her full view with the aqua flower and swimsuit...merge the visible layers...copy it and paste it to the tag. Reduce her size by 45% and center her on the tag.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! To start off, let's add the clouds #2. Find and open the clouds #2 and reduce the size by 85% and place it in the top right corner...duplicate 3 times. Duplicate again and flip it horizontally and place in top left corner...duplicate 3 times. Now find and open the palm tree and reduce it by 40%, Place it behind the tube on the left side; duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right side behind the tube and...take care to ensure the bottom of the tree is not showing and is hidden behind the tube.

Now let's find and open the boardwalk sign. Reduce it by 40% and place it on the left side of the tag, behind the tube. Now find and open the posts and reduce their size by 75%. Place them at the bottom of the boardwalk sign; use the side layers menu and bring them to the forefront. Now find and open the grass #2. Reduce the size by 90%. Place one on the bottom right behind the tube's hand, and place another on the left side at the bottom of the posts. Again, use the side layers menu to slide the grass to the forefront.

Now find and open the flip flops and reduce their size by 90%. Place them in front of the grass, on the right side of the tag. Now find and open the boat #2 and reduce it by 90%. Place it on the top left behind the trees a bit...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the right side a bit in the trees. Now find and open the message in a bottle #1 and reduce the size by 90%. Place it to the right of the poles. Next, find and open the seashell #1 and reduce it by 90%, and place it on the bottom right. Next, find and open the starfish #2 and reduce the size by 90% and place on the bottom right side, to the right of the tube's hand. Lastly, find and open the sparkles #1...leave size as is and keep duplicating and flipping until you are happy with how it looks.

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.
