use your rectangle selection tool and make the following selection:

add a new raster layer below the frame.

move it to the left and add a drop shadow.

use your pick tool and pull it in close to the frame.

when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.

paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.

invert selection and crop to selection.

that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.
