Open a 700 x 700, can resize later

Open flower 1 and resize to 40% and paste on the new image. Open frame 2 and resize 25% and paste on top of flower. Be sure to be under your frame now and resize paper #7 and apply mask WSL_353 delete and merge group. Copy and paste your tube, resize if needed and place under your frame and erase any that is sticking out you do not want. Then duplicate your tube and move to the top and erase the excess over the frame. My tube came with a flower and I used that, but the kit also has some flowers you can use. Just resize and place where you would like them. I resize the first one to 40% and then duplicated and resize to 85% and place toward the bottom of my frame. Be sure to add your drop shadow to everything. Resize scattered flowers #2 to 15% and place one just below your top tube then duplicate, flip and mirror and move on top of your tube, add your drop shadow.  Resize leaves #1 to 10 % and free rotate left 45% and place behind the flowers on the left side then duplicate and mirror and place on the right side. Resize Ribbon 4 to 20% and place under part of the flowers and erase some of the long curly part. Resize the key to 10%, place on the bow and erase a bit of the loop to make it look like it is tied into the bow, add your drop shadow. Resize frame 1 to 24% and free rotate to the left 45% and place just above the mask layer.

Merge visible and resize your tag now and add your copyright and name. If you want to animate then continue if not you are done.

On the scattered flowers take your magic wand and click on the parts you want to add the noise. I did the centers and some of the lighter colors on the outside of them. Since merged you might also have to use your selection tool because of the color. Adjust, add noise at 50%, copy merge and paste in animation shop. Come back undo the noise and then add it again but change it to 45% and take to animation again and paste behind current frame. Then come back and do that one more time changing the % to 40% this time. You should have 3 frames in animation. Check and if happy save and you are done.

Hope you have enjoyed doing my tut

Open the template and shift D to duplicate and close the orginial one.  Copy and paste paper #9 and apply WSL mask 84, delete and merge group, move below template.   On the Black circle and white circle we will be using paper #7, or paper of your choice. On each do the select all, float, defloat, copy and paste, then invert and delete. Delete both parts of the template now also. The red rectangle, select, float, defloat, add a new raster layer and select a dark and light color from your tube and make a gradient, with angle 45, repeat 7, flood fill and now apply Photo Effex-scanlines, delete that layer of the temp.  On each one of theses I added a medium gradient glow with the color then the white and then added a drop shadow.
Now on both green squares, select, float, defloat, copy and paste paper #4 or one of your choice, invert and delete. Do Not deselect yet, copy and paste your close up on one and delete the excess.

look to the left and you should see it

Link for some Falling Leaves HERE

WSL Mask 84 and you can get that HERE

Font used Amperzand and you can get it HERE

Drop shadow is usually V2 H2 50 5

Ok Let's get started

Open a 700 X 700 image and copy and paste paper 1 and add WSL Mask 84, delete and merge group.

 Copy and paste frame 4, resize frame 55%, click inside with your magic wand, expand by 2 and copy and paste paper of choice, I used #5, invert delete, move below your frame. Resize scarecrow to 35% and place to the left a bit inside frame. Resize Ivy4 to 55%, paste above the frame toward the bottom, duplicate, mirror, merge down and add your drop shadow. Copy your tube and resize if needed and place on top of the ivy. Resize the wagon 55% and place to the left behind your tube, add your drop shadow.

Resize the 3 pumpkins to 15% and place to the right behind your tube and position to your liking, add your drop shadow. Take the 3 tall grasses and resize to 25% and place in different placed behind the wagon and pumpkins....Take ivy 1 and resize 25%, free rotate 45% to the right and place on left side of frame, duplicate and mirror and position on the right side of frame.

To write out your saying go to your preset shape, eclipse with background null, line width about 2 and draw a circle around your frame where you want your wordart to go. Then click on your text button and add a new raster layer and hold your mouse over the line until you see an a with a curve under it, then type out what you want yours to say, convert to raster and then delete the circle part. Now resize all and add your copyright and name.

Ok now if you want to add the animation you will have to do this in 2 parts, at least this is how I do it...I have had these leaves a very long time and do not know who they belong to, if they are yours let me know and will give credits to you. You can probably do a search for some animated leaves that are free to use.

First close off all but these and then merge your white background, mask, scarecrow and paper behind frame. Close this off and then merge your other layers, you should now have just 2 layers. Ok take your background layers to animation shop and duplicate 20 times, that is what my leaves animate frames were. Then edit select all copy, go to tag and edit, select all  paste into selected frame, do this several times until you like the looks of it..now go back and close off your background part and open the tube, frame etc part and copy and paste into animation and make 20 frames of this one, then edit copy and on tag edit paste into selected frame.

I hope you have enjoyed doing my tut.
