Ok let's get started
1. Open a 600x600 transparent background and flood fill with white.
2. Select your preset shape border, black as foreground and use your pumpkin.jpg as your background with these settings below and draw out your shape to the size of your liking. Objects, align, center of canvas, Convert to raster layer.

3. Use your magic wand tool, tolerance and feather at 0 and select the inside of the border.
4. Selections, Modify, Expand by 1. Add a new raster layer and flood fill that layer with the fallingleaves.jpg.
5. Open your tube that you are going to be using or another tube of choice. Copy and paste as a new layer. Arrange your tube to your satisfaction including the part of the tube that you want to show inside the border. Once you are happy with the way it looks, go to Selections, Invert, and hit delete making sure you are on the tube layer.
6. Selections, Select None. Layers, merge down. Effects, Penta, Color Dot and use these settings below.

7. Move the layer you just merged under your preset shape, which is the tube and falling leaves background. Hide your white layer and merge visible. Add a drop shadow of choice.
8. Open up the ribbon and paste as a new layer. Place it at the top, see my tag for placement. Colorize and resize as needed. This is the ribbon that Tracee gave me, tysm Tracee.
9. Open up the leaf. Colorize, paste as a new layer. Resize and arrange it to your liking. Add a drop shadow. This leaf was in one of Melissa's kits at Heartfelt Scraps.
10. Open up the stitches and paste as a new layer. Colorize and resize as needed. Place on the side of your preset shape. Image, Duplicate, Mirror. Add a drop shadow. Another one of Melissa's beauties.
11. Hide your white background and merge visible. Unhide your white background.
12. Open up your chain, colorize and resize as needed. Paste as a new layer and rotate about 45 degrees. Place to your liking. Add a drop shadow, Image, Duplicate, and Mirror.
13. Open your glass orb and put it to where it looks like the chains are attached to it and add a drop shadow. Again, one of Melissa's beauties.
14. Copy and paste your tube or your main tube as a new layer, resize and place it where you think it looks good. Add a drop shadow of choice.
15. Add your copyright and watermark. Last but not least, add your text with a font of your choice. I used Super Blade Pro with the coconut ice preset on the name and added a drop shadow.
16. Crop and resize your tag. Save as .jpg or .png. You are done! Thanks for trying my tutorial.
