Template 143 from Horseplay Pastures here 

Mask by Rebel Dezines here

I used the middle one on the bottom row.

Open the template in psp and delete the credits layer.

Image resize>and resize your canvas to 700x7000-you can resize later-

Click on the white background layer and re-floodfill in white.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer-i used paper 19-and apply your mask.

Layers>new mask layer>scroll to mask and hit ok.

Merge group.

Click on circle1 in the layer palette.Selections>select all>float>defloat

and add a paper of choice as a new layer.Selections>invert>edit>cut and deselect.

X out the original template layer.

Add a drop shadow to your new template layer-i use 2,2 50 5.

Click on the mask layer,and frame 1 as a new layer.

Resize by 110%.and if needed,use the deform tool to stretch it so the frame

is bigger than the large circle.Add a drop shadow and sharpen.

Now add any elements you like from the kit,resizing as you go.

You can use my tag as a guide.

I used ricrac,heart pendant,hairpin,feather 2,box,kitty2,mask,leaf1,score,shoe3,star,

diamond scatter.gift and bow4.

Now add your name-i used an alpha-(sorry the link has expired now)

and place on top of the music sheet.

Add a new layer and type`it`s a Black Tie Affair`or wordart of choice

and place on top of the black box.

When you are happy with your tag,delete the white background layer,

and merge all layers.Resize to your liking and then add your credits.

Save as a png and that`s it you are done!
