This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Copy and paste CT-Frame 1 as a new layer.

Move both frames into position - see my tag for reference.
We’ll come back to these frames in a minute to position them better.

Copy and paste Paper 3 Into Selection.
Deselect for now.

Repeat the above step with the bottom frame.

Duplicate your tube.
In your layers pallet move this tube below the top frame layer.
Click on the tube with your mouse then hold down the right arrow key until your tube is centered in the top frame.
Duplicate/Move this layer below the bottom frame layer.

Change the Properties of both tube layers to Soft Light.
Duplicate each layer.

Copy and paste CT-SRibbon1 from the Freebie folder as a new layer.

Position it near the bottom corner of the top frame - see my tag for reference.
Use your Freehand Selection Tool and outside the outer edges of the frame.

Be sure the ribbon layer is highlighted and tap the delete key.
Deselect.
Make your Light/Darken tool active and use these settings:


Run the tool over the ends of the ribbon just to give the “wrap around” effect.

Repeat the above step with the bottom frame.

Add your embellishments. I used:
Ct-Bow 3: Resize 25%
CT-Butterfly 1: Resize 25%
Leaf 1: Resize 25%
Leaf 2: Resize 25%/Mirror
CT-Sleighbells3: Resize 40%
