Open a new image 800x800, paste paper 2, resize larger to 130%, apply
your mask, delete, merge group, then resize larger again to 110%.
Resize element 38 to 80%, duplicate, mirror, flip, erase as much of the fern part as your can and move below the first one.
Paste your close up tube, mirror and move off to the left a bit,
then take either your free hand tool and draw around it or your eraser and erase the part outside this element.
Apply the Xero filter-Bad Dream to your tube first, then Clarity.
Resize element 44 to 50%, paste at the bottom.
Paste your full tube below the wordart, duplicate, move above the wordart,
erasing some of the leg.
Resize element 8 to 50%, apply Mura Meister Copies-Encircle, change the first number
to 14, move to just above the mask layer, duplicate, mirror, erasing any part showing inside.
Paste element 8 on the left below the wordart.

I saved this for last, resize element 25 to 37%, flip apply Mura Meister Copies-Enicircle,
change the first number to 20, move to just above the mask layer, then take
your Pick tool and adjust to fit your frame better, erasing any showing inside the frame area.
Add any other elements that you want.
If you want to do a Signature tag and Avator, don't merge your tag just yet.
Signature
Size 600x200
Close off your tube on your tag, copy merged and paste.
Then take your middle size tube and paste, resize to 90% and move to the right,
or
if you prefer to use the tube from your tag, open and copy and paste that one.
Resize the frog to 40%, paste on the left.
If happy, merge visible, add a frame of choice.
I used AAA frames-Foto frames, width at 3, all other number left as is.
Add your copyright and name.
Avator
Size of choice, I used 200x200
Took my preset tool and drew a circle out with a width of 2 and background null.
Draw the circle, change to raster, paste your signature tag with the tube showing, click inside
with the magic wand, expand by 2, invert, delete, move below the frame, select none.
Add noise at 100% to the frame.
Add your copyright and name.
Crop your main tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges of your tag.
Once happy with it all, close off any backgrounds, merge visible.
Resize first, then add your copyrights and name.
That's it
Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
