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

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 X 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill it white.

Copy and paste Element 64 as a new layer .
Resize 25%
Use your Magic Wand and click inside of it.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
DO NOT DESELECT.

Copy and paste your tube below the frame.
If you’re using the tube I did, resize 65%. You’ll see that the feathered edge of the cow can’t be hidden by the frame….this is alright because the curtain element will do the trick.
Tap the delete key.
Deselect.

Reopen your white canvas.

Elements that we’ll be adding to the tag will need to be feathered, but we’ll take care of that after….

Move it just above your white canvas in your layers pallet.
