Lets begin!

1. Open up a new image. Floodfill with white. [mine was 450 x 450]

2. With your Circle Things 2 font type out number 2 [or any other that you wish to use].
Size 300, Stroke width 3. Objects – Align – Center in canvas. Convert to Raster layer.
Type out number 2 again [or whichever you used] except change the size to 250, Stroke width 2.
Objects – Align – Center in canvas. Convert to Raster layer.

3. Hide your bottom background layer. Merge visible on the font layers.

4. With your top layer the active layer, Selections – Select All, Selections – Float, Selections – Defloat.
Layers – Duplicate. Effects – Nirvana – Sinfinity with the following settings:
*please note, these are the R, G, B settings of my choice, you will need to put your own R, G, B settings in*

Selections – Select none.
I then applied Eye Candy Gradient Glow.
*If you do not have gradient glow, a useful tip is Selections – Select all, Selections – Float, Selections – Defloat, Selections – Modify – Expand – 3, Layers – New Raster Layer, Floodfill with white, Layers – Arrange – Move Down, Deselect. Merge these 2 layers together.*
Effects – 3d Effects – Drop Shadow.
I used V & H [0] Opacity [50] Blur [5] Colour [Black]

5. Activate your middle layer [this was your original font layer].
Effects – Toadies – What Are You? with the following settings:

Effects – Penta – Dots and Crosses with the following settings:

6. Hide your background layer and merge visible your other 2 layers.
Image – Resize – 90% [all layers unchecked].

7. Add your tube resizing if needed and add a Drop Shadow.
I used V & H [4] Opacity [70] Blur [6] Colour [Black]

8. Add your name in font of your choice.

9. Add artist copyrights and your done!
