Drop Shadow = DS= 2,2,50,5,black

Resize = R

Copy and Paste = C&P

New Raster Layer = NRL

Select None = SN

Tag Reference = TR

Duplicate = Dup.

Merge Down = MD

Merge Visible = MV

Blend Mode = BM

Let's Begin

800 X 800

1.) Cluster Frame-B-- R= 24%--sharpen--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--onto center of canvas

2.)With Magic wand--click inside--selection--modify--expand 10--repeat

3.) Paper 14 (or 1 match color of tube)--C&P as NRL--Invert on frame--delete on paper--crop opaque--DS--move paper below frame..DS both

4.) C&P Tube as NRL (R--if needed)--mirror--and place on top

5.) Dup.--blur--gaussian 6-- BM-- hard light -- opacity = 80%--MD--dup.--move dup. below frame--on top layer--erase any of tube hanging over the frame.

Ex.1

SN--then on the bottom --delete any hanging below frame--DS--TR

6.) Close Background--MV all layers--Rename --frame

7.) Palm Tree 2 --C&P as NRL--DS--move layer below frame--TR--dup.--mirror--MD

8.) Monkey--R= 50% & 80% X3--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL- place on tree---DS---dup.--mirror--move up a little--dup.--R= 80%--mirror--move it behind 1st tree-- TR--MD

9.) Fern 1-- R = 80% unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--mirror--place on left-- DS--dup..mirror--place on right side--dup..move behind frame-- on top one erase any thats blocking the wings--MD---TR

10.) Flower 1-- R = 60%--unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--Mirror--place on left side--near middle--TR--DS--dup.--mirror--place on right side--TR

11.) Corner 2--C&P as NRL--move over to left--place layer below tree--DS--Dup. --mirror--MD

12.) Banana 14--R= 50% & 80% X4--Unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--Dup..and close original..DS-- dup..place it on trees-dup.-resizing 80% as you go,place a few around on the trees. when done--MD

13.) On original place it on bottom left--DS--TR--dup. R= 80%--mirror--place in middle--dup. --R-80%--mirror--place in front--MD--TR

14.) Banana 1--R= 50% & 80# --unsharp mask--C&P as NRL--  DS-- move just in front of Bottom sunflower--dup--TR for placement.

15.) Lollipop 1--C&P as NRL-place rt below frame layer--DS--TR--left side

16.)Lollipop 3--  C&P as NRL--DS--place below frame layer on right side--TR

17.) Beads 3--R= 80% X 2--unsharp mask---C&P as NRL- Place on Bottom center--move layer below frame layer--DS

18.) Bow3 --R= 50% unsharp mask-- C&P as NRL- place on right side of frame--DS

19.) with background still closed..MV all layers

C&P paper 13 (or your choice) as NRL-- place below merged layer--add mask--I used WSL-26--delete mask--ungroup layers---crop opaque--now open background an MV all layers.

20.) R--63% all layers--==504 X504--Add All Copy Right Info,,name and Save as Png.

Thank you for trying out my Tut.
