     LET'S BEGIN

Open up Template and ShiftD and close original...delete copyright layer
close all layers except the background layer...the one we'll be working on

load your mask into PSP/Choose a paper of choice/copy/paste...now go to layers/new mask layers/
from image/source window/ and find your mask of choice/create mask from source luminance
click ok....go to layers/merge group

now make circle layer active/selection/modify/smooth with these setting(see photo below)
choose paper of choice/ now resize to fit cirlce go to selection/invert
and click ok/go to paper layer and delete/layers/merge/merge down
keep actvated...copy/paste the close up tube and arrange to your liking.
while still on the circle layer go to selections invert/ then go to tube layer and delete
de-activate/add drop shadow.

now we're going to activate the top left layer/ I left this one the color it was
activate the top right layer/use smooth process/copy/paste paper of choice
while still on the top right layer go to selections invert/ then go to paper layer and delete
layers/merge/merge down/add drop shadow

go to the bottom left and bottom right layer and repeat the same process as you did with the
previous layer...give each layer a drop shadow

now come the great part....it's time to decorate...you can either follow my tag or you can use
whatever element you chose to use. I used the flower,two bows,butterfly and bee
make sure you add a drop shadow to each element...I used H-1/V-1/H40/B-5.00

add your main tube and place where you think it will look best...give a drop shadow
add your copyright and water mark
if you're adding a name go to text tool and find your font. once you type the name
go to Eyecandy4000- Gradient Glow with these setting...see below
