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.)***

Okay let's start building this tag from the bottom up! First, let's add a nice paper to add some color to your tag. To do this, click on FILE>OPEN> find paper # 7 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! Find the El #3 the house, and open it. Increase the size by 25% and place it centered on the tag Next find and open El #28 the poser girl, and reduce her size by 70% and place her on the bottom, near the right side of the house door. Next, find and open the El #11 ladder and reduce the size by 60%. Place it on the right side of the house and increase the height up to the chimney. Next, find and open the EL #21 the North Pole sign and reduce its size by 75%. Place it on the bottom left area of the house. Use the side layers menu and make sure it is in the forefront.

Now find and open the El #1 candy cane light poles. Reduce the size by 60% and place on the left side of the house. Slide the North Pole sign in front of them. Next, find and open the El #20 the elf, and reduce him by 85% and place him towards the top of the ladder. use the side layers menu to slide him to the forefront. Now find and open the EL # 15 garlands and leave the size as is, and place it at the center top of the tag. Now find and open the EL #25 bows and reduce them by 50% and place one on each end of the garland.

Now find and open the El #29 flower and reduce it by 95% and place one in the center of each of the bows. Next, find and open the El#22 gift and reduce it by 85% and place it at the left bottom of the ladder. Now find and open El#7 the cupcake and reduce it by 60% and place it on the bottom left of the poser. Lastly, find and open the El#31 and reduce the size by 80% and place it at the bottom of the ladder.

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.
