back grounds in your tag to change the color
to blend with everything you can.

This is what I have so far.
If your happy with this merger visiable.


Now we are ready to add accents>and tubes
I add from the kit WP_GC_PANSYFLOWER.

Take your Mesh wrap tool,
this is in with your deform tool.
Take the noted you see and push and pull
your flower around the frame like you want it.
before

after pulling the nodes around.
When your happy with it just click up on the mover
tool and the nodes will go away.

Duplicate this layer>layers merge down.
With easer tool you can remove any part
you don't want showing over the frame part.

Duplicate this layer, with deform tool,turn it how you want it.
Image flip>erase any part you don't want hanging over the other.
I wanted more flowers on the bottom there>so duplicated
flipped and mirrored them and erased any thing I didn't want
to cover up the other one.
Layers merge down>drop shadow

Hint
If you wish to change the colors and brighten
these up use the Nik plug in......it's really cool.
I have fallen in love with that thing....lol

Move how you want them, give same drop
shadow.
If your happy with your work, merge all layers.

I added WP_GC_FANCYBUTTERFLY>resized to 20 percent
add a drop shadow
Merge all layers.

Resize your image by 80 percent
and with crop tool get rid of some of the edge
around the tag you don't want.

Add a new raster layer>selection all
Layer>arrange and move to bottom.

Flood fill with a color of choice, or use a paper
I used>WP_GC_PP12.jpg from the kit.

drop shadow, and placed them where I wanted them.
