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. Now add your background paper. I have chosen the paper #2. Open the paper, then copy and paste it to the blank image, and then reduce the size to fit.
***(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 Moonbeams & Spiderwebs #35. 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 blue and green gradient...flood fill the new blank image with the color or gradient..the flood fill is the paint bucket shape.

Choose color or gradient on the right side layers menu; I chose a olive green 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! :) Just copy and paste it to the tag, and make sure it is on front of the paper.
Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! The first thing we want to do, is to add our tube. Find and open the Autumn Girl tube by Arthur Crowe; remove all layers except the girl, and then copy and paste her to the tag. Reduce her size by 60% and center her on the tag. Next, find the El #97 the brown tree and open it. Reduce the size by 20% and then copy and paste it on the right side of the tag, towards the top, but not all the way at the top...duplicate it and then flip this 2nd one horizontally and place it on the left side of the tag. Adjust the tube if need be, so that her head is centered between the trees. Next, find and open El #53 the fence and reduce its size by 20%. Now copy and paste it onto the tag at the center area....slide it behind the trees using the side layers menu..make sure it goes from one side all the way to the other.
Next, find and open El# 63 grass and leave the size as it is. Place it at the bottom of the fence...slide it to be in front of the trees...duplicate it and flip the 2nd one horizontally and place it slightly below the other one. Next, find and open the El #62 grass and place it on the bottom left...duplicate and move up slightly...duplicate again and flip it horizontally and place this one on the bottom right..duplicate and move it slightly up. Use the side layers menu and slide the back grass to the forefront, where it is in front of this grass. Next, find and open El # 70 the rock path and increase its size by 15%. Place it at the bottom of the tag on make sure it is in front of the bottom grass...it should be below the tube.
Next, find and open El #50 the bench and reduce its size by 35%. Place it on the tag centered behind the tube...use the side layers menu and slide it to be in front of the rock path. Next, find and open the El #65 the grass bush and reduce its size by 70%. Place it on the right side of the tag in front of the bench leg...duplicate it and flip this one horizontally and place it on the left side in front of the bench legs. Next, find and open El #80 the bunch of yellow flowers and reduce the size by 85%. Place it on the right in front of the grass bush and at the bottom of the bush...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the left side.
Next, find and open El #58 the tall cattails and leave the size as is. Place it on the right side, behind the grass bush...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place it on the left side. Next, find and open El#83 the violin and bow and reduce the size by 90%, and place it on the right side in front of the bench. Next, find and open El#3 the yellow bird and reduce its size by 97% and place it atop the left side top of the bench. Next, find and open the El #5 the red apple and reduce its size by 98% and place it at the bottom of the tube, between her legs.
Next, find and open El #35 the purple and white flower and reduce the size by 98%. Start on the bottom left and place the first in the bottom left corner...duplicate and place to the right of the first on and slightly above it...duplicate again and flip this one horizontally and place to the right of the second one, level with the first one. Repeat this process on the bottom right of the tag. Next, find and open El #34 brown flower and reduce it by 97% and place on the bottom left in the open space between the purple and white flowers...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place on the right side.
Next, find and open the El #32 the reddish leaf bunch and reduce the size by 75%. Place it in the top right corner, leaving and open area in the very top of the corner...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place in the same area on the top left corner. The last element will be El #56 the white stone...open it and reduce the size by 90% and place it in the area we left open in the top right corner...duplicate and flip it horizontally and place in the open area in the top left corner.
Lastly, use the effects menu and add 3d drop shadows wherever you would like them to be. Make sure at this point that you add the copyright information for the tube artist!! (VERY IMPORTANT)
