~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 x 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Frame 3 as a new layer.

Apply Xero-Porcelain to the tube layer:

Reopen your canvas.

Make your Selection Tool active set on Circle.
Create a circle approximately 400 pixels.

Center it behind the circle, but only worry about how the left side of it looks.
As you can see, the right side is sticking just a tag further out.
Make your Pick Tool and active and just push that side in until it looks completely centered behind the circle.
