This tutorial does not use any plugins or special effects.

Scrap kit is Colorful Autumn from Designs By Rens and is available for purchase at Scrap Designs 'n Company HERE
Mask of choice. I used Mask 65 from Moon Beams and Spider Webs HERE
Unzip your masks from MB&SW and move into your masks folder in PSP
Open a new transparent image 700 x 700 - you can resize later if you like.
Open paper 08, resize to 700 x 700, copy, close and paste as new layer
Layers, Load Save Mask, Save mask from disk, choose MB&SW #65 with Source Luminance, Fit To Canvas and Hide All Mask checked
Layers, merge, merge group
Layers, duplicate
Pull the arrow down from the top until you have something like this:

Open element 14, resize and move to the top left
Open element 24 resize and move to the right of the house
Open element 17, resize and move to the right of the window
Open element 32, resize and move below and overlapping the clock
Open element 52, resize and move so it's overlapping both the clock and the flowers
Open element 28, resize and move so it's just about center on the image
Open element 56, resize and move to the bottom right overlapping the flowers
Open element 69, resize and move down and to the left side
Open element 63, resize and move to the bottom left
Go through your layers and add drop shadows to your elements
I used 0, 4, 17, 13, black
If you're going to resize, do that before adding any text
For the credit layer I used Pixelette, black, no drop shadow
For the name, I used Always Black with a drop shadow of 0, 2, 17, 3, black - any nice script font would do
Layers, merge, merge visible and save as a png file.
Enjoy your new tag!
