Delete gray flowers layer.

Open your tube or image of choice - Copy and paste, arrange and resize to your liking, mine are rotated 21 degrees.

Copy and paste any other elements that you would like to use, resizing and rotating as you go.

At this point, I usually resize if I need a smaller image. I also save both the original size and the smaller size images.

Add a new vector layer for your text - (I floodfilled mine with paper 8.) To make it stand out, duplicate the layer, convert bottom layer to raster, drop shadow first with white, then add another drop shadow in black.

Go back through to sharpen and add a drop shadow to your layers.

Add your copyright as the finishing touch.

Save your tag in your favorite format and you are done!!
