Copy and paste Skull 4 as a new layer below the frame. Resize 25% Free rotate right 15 degrees Center inside the smaller frame. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.

Free rotate right 15 degrees Flower 5: Resize 30% Floral Cluster Candle: Resize 30% Duplicate/resize 70% Merge Visible the 2 candles. Give it the same drop shadow as your tube. Duplicate twice for a total of 3 candle layers. Rename Candle 1, Candle 2, and Candle 3. Highlight Candle 1 and using your Freehand Selection Tool, draw a candle flame above each wick. It doesn’t have to be perfect!! Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature - Fire with these settings:
