Open up your tube you are using, depending on your tube, resize to your liking so it
fits nicely on your tag, sharpen once or twice, add same drop shadow as before.

Open up pd-flowers-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize once @ 70% smartsize and sharpen once.

I brought this below the frame layer and made it peak out some, then duplicate it and flip
then mirror it and place it on the other side so it peaks out some as well. use my tag as a guide.

Add the same drop shadow as before to the flower layers.

Using the same flower we just did, I pasted them again and put them above the paper
layer and put them nicely in the frame, you will need to click inside the frame layers
with your magic wand, then back on the flower layer we just made, invert then delete the
excess that hangs over.

Duplicate this once and mirror it so it peaks out some on the other side, I put these below
the all the layers.

Open up pd-glitter-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize @ 70% smartsize once, duplicate

I then brought this below the duplicated layer of the frame and then erased some of the
frame that was covering the tube so it sits nicely in the frame.
