"Anyone can be a Father...
but it takes someone special to be a dad."...

Add any other elements you would like, make it your own.

Crop your 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.
