***(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.)***

Now duplicate it, and cut or erase the bottom half of the tube...place the top half in the circle on the left..decrease size until it fits...duplicate it and flip it horizontally and place in the right side circle.

***(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.)*** 


Now, let's add some other items to start adding depth and dimension to our tag! The first thing we want to do, is place papers on parts of our template. The following is where your papers should be. Paper # 1 on rasters 8 & 3, paper # 6 on raster 10, paper #3 on raster 6, paper # 8 on raster 7, paper #5 on rasters 1, 2, & 9, paper #10 on rasters 4 & 5, and paper # 7 on rasters #5 and 14.. The next thing we want to do is to add our tube images. Find and open the full view tube image, making sure u have the wings; reduce it by 65% and place it on the bottom of the tag a bit towards the left. Now open the close up view of the tube and reduce it by 70% and place in the small right circle...using the effects and make it a very light vignette.

 Next, find and open the sparkle stars and reduce it by 90% and place it in the top left corner, making sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the sparkle heart and reduce it by 90%, and place it in the top right corner; again, make sure it is in the forefront. Next, find and open the hat and reduce it by 95%, and place it on the top left part of the crib; make sure it is in the forefront, so it looks as if it is hanging on the crib. Next, find and open the wash cloths and reduce them by 90% and place on the bottom right side of the crib; make sure it is in the forefront.
