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.)***

We will not be using a mask, but we will use a background paper for this tag. To begin, find and open the paper #1. Reduce the size by about 70%, until it fits the tag. next, find and open the frame #1 and reduce the size by 70% and center it on the tag (this is like an entrance to a circus tent. Now find and open the circus performer #2 the boy and place him on the right side of the entrance, and reduce him by 85%. Find and open the performer #1 the girl and place he ron the left side of the entrance, reducing her size by 80%.

Now find and open the panda and reduce it by 70% and place it at the top, between the performers. Now find and open the bow #2 and place them in the 2 top corners, making sure they are going opposite directions. Next, find and open the flower #1 and reduce it by 85% and place it in the center of each of the 2 top corner bows. Now find and open the balloons and reduce it by 80% and center them in the tent frame.

Now find and open the ribbon #3 and reduce it by 80% and place it across the top and the bottom; use the side layers menu and slide the bows and flowers back to the forefront. Now find and open the ribbon #1 and reduce it by 90% and place it down the sides of the tag. Now find and open the word art and decrease it by 80% and place it at the top above the performers. Now find and open the tokens and reduce the size by 85% and place on the bottom left, duplicate and flip it horizontally and place on the bottom right. Lastly, find and open the banner and reduce it by 90% and place it across the top of the tag.

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.
