Lets begin!

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

2. Choose 2 colours from your tube. Click on your preset shapes and choose a shape you would like to use.
I used a flower preset and my line width was 6, null background, foreground darker colour.
Objects – Align – Center in canvas. Convert to Raster Layer.

3. Using your magic wand click inside the white of the shape.
Selections – Modify – Expand by 3.
Layers – New Raster layer. Floodfill this with your lighter colour.
Keep selected.

4. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer. When you’re happy with your positioning, Selections – Invert.
Press the delete key on your keyboard. Selections – Select none.
I lowered the opacity on my tube layer to 30.

5. Hide your white background layer and your shape layer.
Merge your tube layer and your colour layer and then duplicate it.
On your bottom copy Effects – Mehdi – Kaleidoscope 2.1 with the following settings.

6. Unhide your shape layer. Layers – Arrange – Bring to Top.
Merge this layer with your top tube/colour layer. Add a drop shadow.
I used V & H [0] Opacity [50] Blur [5] Colour [Black]

7. Copy and paste the tube you are using for your main tube as a new layer.
Add a drop shadow of choice.

8. Add your name in font of your choice.

9. Add artist copyrights and your done!
