the tubes I have used, and never claimed to have done them.
This is for fun and learning not for profit.

Plug ins

Pick a color for the foreground
and the background from the tube.

I used psp 9 for this.

little square, deselect

5.Get wand and click on the square.
Selection modify contract by 3

then to selection modify and
find border

6. Flood fill with the gold beads or gold of choice.

Selection none.
If your happy with everything so far you can now merge
all layers.

16. Re size all layers like you want them, I did 85 percent, then
Add a new raster layer, layers and send to bottom, or just drag it down.

on your bottom layer...just get that tool and draw a square around
your work to get rid of the extra background then click on the

then edit undo and redo it.

18. Make sure on the bottom layer still and effect plug in,

I used width 6, stoke 6 with it checked
you want it to just go around your work not touching it.

20. Layer new, layer send to bottom, and flood fill with light color.
Select all, selection modify contract by 5 then invert.

21. Then filters unlimited gradients pick a color from the colors
that will look good with what your working with.
