Supplies Needed

I used PSPX...but any of them should work.

Drop Shadow V2 H2 50 5

Filters used

ADL-Adrenaline Snowflakes

EyeCandy4000-Gradient Glow-optional

Drop shadow is usually 2V 2H 50 5 Depending on where you want your shadow sometimes you might have to do the minus on them.

Ok Let's get started
Open a 600 X 250 new image, select all and copy and paste into selections paper #4, select none.  Cope and paste trees and move slightly to the right to not have a gap there, add your drop shadow.  Add the filter ADL Adrenaline Snowflakes with these settings:
Amount 45
0
15
72
0
then OK
Then resize your fence to 45% and position on your image, add your drop shadow.
Resize your snowflake to 10%, sharpen and then place in different places on your image, add your drop shadow.
Add your tube and resize if necessary, add your drop shadow and position into place. Resize the bells to 10% and place on the sign.  Select all, new raster layer, flood fill with a color from your tube, selection, modify, contract by 5, delete. Select none. 
Effects, blinds at 2, 25 both boxes selected, then again but uncheck the horizontal box. Add a medium gradient glow with the same color. Be sure this frame layer is on top. 
Add your Artist copyright and name.

Now for the avator
Open a new image 150 by 150, close off the tube layer and copy and paste the merged background image onto the avator.  Now copy and paste your tube and position where you want it, then merge visible. Select all, new layer, fill with same color as before, contract by 5 and delete and apply the blinds again in the same way and add your gradient glow again, merge visible. Add your Artist info and your name or initial and you are done.
Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
