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 # 6 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 by about 25% so there is uncovered space all around the tag. Next find and open paper #1 and size it to fit the tag, then turn it diagonally, and place it behind paper 6. Now find and open paper # 12. Size it to fit the tag...leave it straight, and place it behind the other 2 papers.

Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! Find the Full view of the Bling Bling babe tube and open her. Reduce her size by 30% and center her on the tag. Now find and open bow #4 and reduce it by 80%, and place one ion each of the four corners, going in opposite directions. Now find and open the charm and reduce it by 70%. Place it on the right side, then duplicate it, flip it horizontally, and place it on the left side.

Now find and open the briefcase and reduce it by 80%, and place it on the bottom right, with part of it being behind the tube. next, find and open the mp3 player and reduce it by 90%. Place it on top pf the briefcase, on the right side. Now find and open the moneybag and reduce it by 70%. Place it on the left bottom of the tag. Now find and open the cash and reduce it by 90%. Place it at an angle on the cash bag. Now find and open the gun #2 and reduce it by 90% and place it on the bottom left, angled atop the money bag. Now find and open the bullet hole and reduce it by 90%. Place it on the top right..duplicate it and place it a little more to the right and lower down.

Now find and open the tape. Increase the size by 100% and place it centered behind the tube. Now find and open the smokes and reduce by 90%, and place on the left side of the mp3 player. Now find and open the lock and reduce it by 90% and place it on the left side of the smokes. Next, find and open the pimp cup and reduce by 90% and place on the bottom right, and have the stem behind the smokes. Now find and open the can and reduce it by 90% and place on the bottom right, behind the cash. Now find and open the dollar deco and reduce it by 90% and angle it on the top right by the bullet holes.

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.
