Ok, let's get started.

Drop shadow used on this tag is 2-2-40-3 BLACK

Create a new image 700 x 700

Flood fill white

Open the Mistletoe & the Frame back circles

Paste the mistletoe as a new layer

Go to Effects-MurasMeister-Copies

See below screen shot for settings



Hit OK

Right click on your Mistletoe Circle and DUPLICATE

Go to Image-Free Rotate

See below screen shot for settings



Highlight the bottom mistletoe frame

Go to Effects-3D effects-Cutout

See below screen shot for settings



Choose your Elipse tool and select the Circle

Make a circle that fits in the center of your Mistletoe Frame
(foreground NULL background BLACK)

See below screen shot for example



Convert your circle to raster

Go to Selections-Select All-Float-Defloat-Modify-Expand

Expand by 12

Layers-New Raster Layer

Flood fill with a color of your choice

Selections-Modify-Expand by 10

Layers-New Raster Layer

Flood fill with a color of your choice

Now arrange those circles so the largest circle is on the bottom and the smallest

is on top

Selections-Select None

Add whatever effects to the circles you want, I added noise to the green and red

circles, noise setting number @ 45 uniform monichrome

On the bottom (red) circle, I added Eye Candy-Impact-Gradient Glow

See below screen shot for settings



Add your tube of choice and erase along the bottom so it looks as though it is coming out of the mistletoe frame.

Now add your bow or ribbon of choice, use your warp brush or mesh warp tool

to make the bow/ribbon look like it is wrapping around the frame

Now add the supplied word art or wording of your choice

I also added a kiss brush (see my tag for placement)

Then add your name and your copyright

Hide your white background and save as a .PNG

I hope you had fun!!
