I am using the awesome artwork of Jamie Kidd.

Supplies Needed
I used PSPX...but any of them should work.
PTU Radiant Orchid by Irish Princess Designs HERE
Drop shadow is usually V-2 H-2 Black, 50, 5, use what you prefer.
Let's get started
*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*
Open a new image 800 x 800 or a size you prefer.
Paste element 37, resize to 90%.
Paste element 5, resize to 50%, move to the left and up some, duplicate, move to the right and down some.
I didn't merge the frame because you might want to readjust them later, so take your magic wand, click inside each frame expand by 5, paste paper 17, invert, delete, move below the tubes,
mirror your tube for one of the frames, paste the tube in each frame, then delete each tube, select none.
Duplicate each tube, go to Adjust, Blur, Gaussian Blur, number on 4, change the blend mode to
hard light, merge each tube down with the other. Then apply Xero filter-Soft Vignette with these settings
Elliptical, Foreground color
Diagonal dots
1, 0, 0, 255
Paste your tube on top of the frames, adjust.
Resize element 85 to 90%, go to Adjust, Hue and Saturation to change the color, use
these numbers
H 208, S 175
Paste element 43 on the glitter layer, resize to 95, duplicate, mirror.
Resize element 77 to 50%, paste on one side at the bottom of the tube, duplicate, mirror, erase the flower on the lower tube face.
Resize element 30 to 30%, paste below the flower on the left, duplicate, resize to 85%, move down a bit.
Resize element 67 to 55%, free rotate to the right at 90 degrees, paste below the flower on the right, duplicate, mirror.
Resize element 100 to 35%, paste at the bottom being on the top layer, duplicate twice, moving these below the flower layers on each end.
Paste element 78 on the bottom layer, resize a bit larger to 105%.
Paste element 34 below that layer on the right, adjust to how you like it, duplicate, mirror, again adjust to your liking.
Resize element 79 to 20%, free rotate to the left at 10 degrees, paste below the top flower layer at the bottom.
Resize element 80 to 20%, paste by the love sign.
Resize element 51 to 15%, mirror, paste at the bottom left side.
If you would like to do a Signature and Avator, do not merge your tag yet.
Add any other elements you would like at this time.
Close off the tubes, frames and the background stuff, you want from the clock and above to copy merged.
Open a new layer 600 x 300, paste your merged layer, resize to 75%.
Go back to your main tag, open all the layers again, then select the purple flower on the bottom layer, paste, resize to 75%, free rotate to the left, duplicate, mirror, move both below the merged layer, adjust, erase the part you don't want showing, duplicate, free rotate to the right at 90, adjust, erase, duplicate, mirror, adjust and erase any other parts.
Add a new layer, fill with #f2e5f5, add a mask of choice, I used Monti Blind mask.
Resize element 51 to 15%, mirror, paste at the bottom left side.
Avator
A size that is allowed for your group or forum,
mine is 200 x 200, fill with #f2e5f5, apply Xero filter, fritillary with these settings
5, 30, 68, 46
Copy your Signature tag merged and paste, resize to 85%, move how you like the looks, then add a frame of choice.
I used AAA Frames-Foto Frame width on 3 and all other numbers left as is.
Be sure to add your copyright to all tags and name.
Crop your main tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges of your tag.
Once happy with it all, close off any backgrounds, merge visible.
Resize first, then add your copyrights and name.
That's it
Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
