Scrap by Amy Marie HERE
Xero Filter-Soft Mood
Wordart at CM HERE
Font Before the Rain 
WSL_Mask 84 HERE
Drop Shadow usually V2 H2 50 black

Let's get started

*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*

Open a new image size of choice, I usually do 800 x 800

Copy and paste paper#18 and apply your mask, delete and merge group.
 Copy and paste paper#22 and apply the mask again, delete and merge group. Resize this mask to 95%.
Copy and paste tree #4 and move to either left or right side,
add xero filter-Soft Mood, duplicate and mirror.
Copy and paste tree #4 again, resize to 85% and place off side of the bigger tree, duplicate and mirror.
Copy and paste tree #2 and place on the right, then copy tree #3 and place on the left, adjust to your liking.
Copy and paste the leaf pile, duplicate and mirror.
Resize the bench to 70% and paste in the center of your tag, go to
Adjust
Hue and Saturation, colorize
and use these settings
Hue 14  Saturation 163
Resize element #27 to 65% and place below the leaf pile layer on the right and move out almost to the edge of the pile or where you like the looks, duplicate and mirror.
Duplicate a couple more times and resize to 75% and place in different areas. 
Resize element #17 to 40 and place in front of the mushrooms you just placed on the right.
Resize your tube to 75% if using the same one I am and place on the bench.
Resize the mug to 15% and place on the bench next to your tube.
Resize element #14 to 25% and place on the log, duplicate and mirror.
Resize element #21 to 45% and duplicate several times and place how you like the looks. Maybe move some down a layer or so and place.
Resize element #16 to 30# and place on the left side, below the acorn layer and make any adjustments.
Duplicate a couple of times and resize smaller and place where you like the looks.
Resize element #26 to 20% and place in the trees where you like, duplicate and mirror.
This next step is optional if you would like to do it.
I took tree #3, change the blend mode to hard light and moved below the other tree layers and duplicated and mirror and placed into position. This just gave it a bit more of the darker orange to show thru and then sharpen once.
Resize element #28 to 50% and place on the trees to make it look like the leaves are starting to fall, duplicate a couple of times and move around.
Resize the wordart to 75% and place at the bottom part of your tag.
I resized the basket to 30% and place on the left side.
Add any other elements that you would like.
Once happy with everything, close off your background if using one and merge visible.
Resize your tag and add your copyrights and name and you are done.
Hope you enjoyed doing this tut.
