1. Open a new image 500 x 500 transparent.

2.  Pick a tube you want to use copy it and paste it as a new layer.   On your new 500 x 500 image right click and paste as a new image.  Your new image should now be in the center of your 500 x 500 image.
 

3.  If it doesn't fit you may need to resize it.  To do this on the left hand side of your psp click on the raster deform tool.

 

4.  Nodules will come up around your image and you can resize your graphic by either moving the nodules up or down or side to side like so:



5.  Your layers Pallet looks like this: To rename your layers you click on raster 2 right click and click on rename.  Now rename your raster 2 as Mosaic.



6. Duplicate Mosaic layer and rename it tube1. To do this right click again on now the new layer called Mosaic and click on duplicate.  You will now have 3 layers showing up in your layers on the right of your psp.  Raster 1, Mosaic Layer and Tube 1.

7.  You see above were it says Raster 2 and you know to rename that to Mosaic.  If you double click after you rename it on the mosaic a properties box will open up On your Mosaic layer double click on that layer and reduce the opacity down to 70 percent.  See Example


8.  While on your Mosaic layer take your raster deform tool (reference above) and move it over just a bit so you can see it underneath the tube1 layer.



9.  While still on your mosaic layer go to effects/texture effects/Mosaic Antique.  And use my settings are play around with your own to get different effects

10.  Using your raster deform tool reposition your new mosaic background until you get the desired effect for your tag.

11.  Now to give your tag a more striking appearance.  Click on your tube1 layer ( when I refere to click on a layer it simply means to go to the layer on the right and side and click on it, it will go blue to show you its activated see example) and add a drop shadow and even a innerbevel.  To use both those effects go to effects/3d then use drop shadow first then inner bevel.  DO NOT USE THE EFFECTS ON THE MOSAIC YOU MADE.  This is the settings that I used for both.

Example of Layers

Inner Bevel


Drop Shadow



12..   Now add your name or wording that you would like on the tag.  I used the same drop shadow on my name and inner bevel.

13.  Crop it down to size and merge it all visible.

14. Go to export/save as gif.

15. Remember when you save as a gif with a drop shadow the transparency has to be grey or the shadow will not save correctly.  Check out my settings.






Happy Creating all
