Any similarities are purely coincidentally.
Do not copy this tut and claim it as yours.

I am using the work of Keith Garvey. You must have the proper license to use
his work and can purchase one at MPT.
The font I am using is called DymaxionScript.

Remember: My tutorials are only guidelines. So if you feel you want to
change some things, then do so. Be creative and have fun!!

Supplies needed:
- Paint shop pro
- Tube of choice
- Font of choice
- Anything extra that you want to add to the tag.

Now lets begin:
1: New canvas 500x500 pixels. Floodfill with white.
2: New raster layer. Activate your selection tool and drag out a long square
on the new canvas.
3: In your color palette change the foreground color to a color from your tube
and the background to white.
4: Go to your gradients and find a gradient to fit your tube. Then use these settings:


5: Floodfill the square with the gradient. Name this layer: Tagback.
6: Effects - Reflection Effects - Kaleidoscope. Use these settings:



6: Effects - 3D effects - Drop shadow. With these settings: 1,1,50,2 and black.
Repeat the shadow but change the first two settings to - 1.
7: Selections - Modify - Contract 8.
8: Selections - Float. Selections - Defloat. Add a new raster layer. In your
color palette close off the white background color. Then click on the
foreground color (where the color from your tube is). A window should open, like this:

On the square in the middle, click a little lower to make your color a bit lighter.
Then click on ok.
9: Floodfill the new raster layer with this color.
10: Effects - Texture effects - Blinds. Use these settings:

11: Deselect. Name this layer Frame and close off this layer for now.
12: Activate your Tagback layer - Duplicate. Keep the copy active.
13: Image - Resize 80%. Image - Free Rotate - 90%. Keep everything else unchecked.
14: Open up your Frame layer. Repeat step 12 and 13. In the layer palette move the
copy layers to the top. Your layer palette should now look like this:


15:  Merge the copy layers and activate the Tagback layer. Selections - Select all. Selections - Float.
Selections - Defloat.
16: Add your tube as a new layer. Resize if needed and move it to the left. Name this layer Tube.
When done, then go to Selections - Invert and hit the delete button on your keyboard.
Deselect.
17: Copy the Tube layer. Image - Mirror. Move the tubes the way you want. Then merge them
together. Name this layer Tubes. Properties - Blend mode - Luminance. Take down
the opacity to 70.
18: Now go to the top merged layer and add your tube as a new layer. Resize if needed.
19: Now crop and resize the tag the way you want it. Add the copyrights and your name.
20: Merge flatten and save as .jpeg
20: Enjoy your new tag!
