*********************** 

this kit is a full size page kit so we are downsizing it by alot.

first, open a new image with transparent background at 750px by 650px.

flood fill the first layer with #762652.

add noise with gaussian blur at 50% with monochrome checked.

apply the mask at default settings.

right click on the mask layer to merge the mask group.

now select the circle/ellipse preset shape and make a large circle.

on your toolbar in your preset shapes flyout menu, select the symmetric shape.

right click on the vector layer and select edit mode.

in your color palette, make the foreground and background color to #000000.

right click on the the layer to rasterize it.

open the web element from the kit and resize by 35%.

copy and paste (C/P) it as a new layer above the circle layer.

duplicate it.

on the duplicate, apply gaussian blur by 3.

merge down so the webs are one layer.

open paper15 from the kit and copy.

add a new raster layer above the circle layer.

click on the circle layer and select all/float/defloat.

on the new raster layer, paste into selection.

invert your selection and hit delete on the web.

select none and hide the circle layer.

open splatter2 from the kit and resize by 20%.

C/P it as a new layer above the web.

open the hauntedhouse element and resize by 30%.

C/P it as a new layer above the splatter2.

position it to the right of the circle.

add a new raster layer below the house.

use your magic wand tool to click on the outside of the house.

invert selection and contract it by 10.

open paper8 from the kit.

copy the paper and paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.

don't forget to add artist credit and license info.

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.

thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
