Note that H# and V# refer to Horizontal and vertical coordinates on your canvas grid. Make sure you have View, Rulers checked in order to see the ruler grid.

When I say "Add to your canvas" I expect that you will copy and paste it as a new layer, unless otherwise state in the tutorial.

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP. It was written using PSP X1, but should work in PSP 8 and up.

Open a new raster layer canvas, 800 x 800 pxls, flood filled white.

Open Paper2-GI_Destiny. Go to layers --> load/save mask --> load mask from disk and locate Wee Scots Lass mask #83. Make sure the fit to canvas box is checked, then click on load.

Copy merged and add to main canvas, centered.

Open Moon-GI_Destiny, resize to 35%, then add to main canvas, centered at H550, V200.

Open Castle1-GI-Destiny, resize to 65%, and add to main canvas, centered at H550, V400.

Open Tree-GI_Destiny, resize to 75% then add to canvas, centered at H250, V375.

Open Grass-GI_Destiny, and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V650

Open psp12793-SCFranco-Piper, copy the Tube 2 layer and add to main canvas, centered at H400, V500.

Add drop shadow of choice to tube. I am using offsets Vertical of 7, Horizontal of -7, opacity of 85, blur of 35, color black (#000000).

Open Chest-GI_Destiny, resize to 35% and add to main canvas, centered at H600, V650.

Open DustTrail-GI_Destiny, and add to main canvas, centered.

On the materials pallet, set your foreground color to transparent and your background color to dark purple (#400040). Using font of choice, add copyright information to the tag.

For the Piper tube, that information is: (c)Alex Franco www.alexfrancoart.11omb.com Your_MPTLicense#.

I am using Trebuchet MS, 4 points, bold and centered.

You can now save the artist's copy of your tag as a .pspimage file.

Using font of alpha of choice, add name of choice to tag. I am using the Goth Chic alpha by Whispy's D'zines. I have the name centered at H300, V150. Actual location will depend upon length and size of name.

Delete the white background layer and merge visible. Resize to 75% (600 x 600 pxls) and save as a .png file and your all done!
