***********************

open the template and delete my copyright layer.

open paper12 from the kit and copy.

paste it as a new layer above the background layer.

apply the mask at default settings.

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

now hide the circle2 layer.

add a new raster layer below the circles1 layer.

set your foreground color to #ffffff and your background layer to #f3a3aa.

use the following gradient settings to flood fill the layer:

now use your pick tool to pull the gradient layer closer to the left circle.

you should have something like below:

duplicate the gradient layer and mirror it.

merge down so both gradient circles are one layer.

now click on the circles1 layer and select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the gradient layer.

select none and hide the circles1 template layer.

unhide the circle2 layer.

open paper27 and C/P it as a new layer above the circle2 layer.

click on the circle2 layer and select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the paper27 layer.

select none and hide the circle2 template layer.

now open your tube and C/P it as a new layer above paper27.

apply the mask with default settings.

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

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! =)
