On your layer palette, highlight the background layer, Image, resize CANVAS to 600x400 pixels / placement center. Click OK. Back to your background layer, flood fill with White. New raster layer, name it bg 2 and flood fill with a light (pastel) color of choice. New raster layer, name it bg 3 and flood fill with a dark color. (This is so we can check copyright info against different colored backgrounds for our finished tag).

Highlight Raster 1 layer in your layer palette (this would be your templates copyright info). Delete this layer.

Now highlight your Raster 6 layer. It should be the layer above the first frame back layer as you look down from the top of your layer palette. Selection / select all, float/defloat. Open sm_CGUblkpoison2_3. Shift+D, close original. Resize 80% x2 times. Copy, Minimize your tube and Paste as a new layer onto your tag. With your mover tool, move your tube into place inside your frame, Selections / invert, hit delete key twice. Ctrl+D. Dropshadow as before. Set blend mode to Luminance(L).

Highlight your Raster 5 layer. Open sm_CGUmaverick2_1. Shift+D, close original. Resize 80% x2 times. Copy, Minimize your tube and Paste as a new layer onto your tag.. With mover tool, move tube into place under the frame on the right side, selections / invert, hit delete key twice. Ctrl+D. Dropshadow as before. Set blend mode to Luminance(L).

Now hide all of your background layers (background, bg 2 and bg 3) Merge, merge visible.

Open nnw emo swirl. Copy/Paste as a new layer. Resize by 80% x6 times. Effects, plugins, Mura's Meister - Copies. Set to default settings and in the pull down menu set to Encircle. Click OK. Resize by 80%. Name this layer Swirl. Move the swirl up towards the top left of your tag. Duplicate this later and Mirror, Flip. Copy of Raster 1 layer, Merge, merge down.

Open nnw emo doodlieos2. Copy/Paste as a new layer. Make this layer the very top layer in your layer palette. Resize 80% x6 times. Move it to the top right corner of your tag. Duplicate, Image flip. Duplicate, image mirror, duplicate, image flip. Layers merge, merge down x3 times. Dropshadow as before. Name this layer Doodles. Drag this layer under your tag layer and above the Swirl layer.

Now maximize both your tubes from earlier. Resize each by 80% x2 times and paste each as a new layer onto your tag (see my tag for placement). Sharpen and give them both a dropshadow using the same settings as earlier. Layers, merge, merge visible.

New raster layer and add your copyright info / tagger info. I do this with black and add Gradient glow to this so it will show up in both light and dark backgrounds. Be sure you can see them against your 3 backgrounds you made earlier. If all is well. Delete all three background layers and Merge Visible your tag layers and save as a .png file. Then you can use it as a template when personalizing tags later on. I used Satisfaction with nnw emo paper9 as my background fill for names, then applied the gradient glow and dropshadow. Once you add names you are done! YAY!
