--> Remember to save often and use my tag as reference if necessary. Used the Drop Shadow: 1-1-50-5 in most layers. Flower used is from Natalia's tube.
1. Create a new image 700x700. Open mar2015_simpleground from my materials. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it down.
2. Open your tube and select a part of it. Copy and paste as new layer. Apply MuRa's Meister > Copies > Wall Paper(rotate) > Default. Gaussian Blur > 10. Apply Dee's mask. Merge group. Texture Effects > Weave with the settings below (color #6b5b52):
3. Open Grabbagforesttree. Resize 40%. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it to left.
4. Open Grabbagforestfence. Resize 50%. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it down.
5. Open Grabbagforestwindow. Resize 40%. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it to right.
6. Open mar2015_mirrorplace from my materials. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it below the forest window layer and place it behind the window frame. It's to show where the mirror animation should be added later, but if you decided not to animate the tag, it will work as a motionless mirror as well. Rename the layer MIRROR.
7. Click on first layer, should be the forest window layer. Open Grabbagforestleaves. Resize 25%. Mirror. Copy and paste as new layer. Place it over the forest window top.
8. Open Grabbagforestleaves2. Resize 30%. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it down. Place it over the fence.

11. Now I'm using the dress flower of Natalia's tube. Place them on many places to embellish the tag.
12. Open your tube. Resize if needed. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it to right.
13. Open mar2015_darewordart from my materials. Copy and paste as new layer. Move it up left.
--> Resize if wanted. Add your copyright info and license#. Add your name.
--> If you do not want to animate just save as PNG.
