Lets begin!
1. Open a new image 550 x 550. Floodfill with white.
Copy and paste my bottom rectangles as a new layer.
Colourise to match your tube.
Copy and paste my side rectangles as a new layer.
Colourise to match your tube.
Once you are happy with the position, merge these two layers together.
2. Duplicate your rectangle layer.
On the bottom rectangle layer, Image – Mirror. Image – Flip.
Duplicate this layer and resize by 75%. [all layers unchecked]
Duplicate your resized layer and resize it by 75%. [all layers unchecked]
You should now have 3 mirrored rectangle layers each different sizes.
Merge these mirrored rectangle layers and lower the opacity. [I lowered mine to 40]
Place this layer where you think looks best.
Use your selection tool to crop off any that overhangs.
3. Copy and paste the heart I provided and colourise to match your tube.
Do the same with the words.
Merge these two layers together.
I renamed this layer ‘Heart’ as I would be working with it later.
[If you do not wish to animate, you don’t need to do this]
4. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.
Add a drop shadow of choice.
I resized the tag at this stage.
5. Add your name in a font of your choice. [I used Kiss me Kiss Me Kiss me] and add the artist copyrights.

6. Duplicate your ‘Heart’ layer. Lower the opacity to 74 on the top heart layer.
On your bottom heart layer Xenofex 2 – Constellation with the following settings:
Edit – Copy Merged.
Open Animation Shop. Edit – Paste as a new animation.
7. Back in psp, hit the ‘back’ button
Xenofex 2 – Constellation – same settings except hit the random seed button once.
Edit – Copy Merged.
In Animation Shop, right click on the new animation you made earlier, Paste – after current frame.
8. Repeat #7 again.
9. Save your tag as a .gif and you’re all done!
