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

New Image 650 by 650 with a white fill

Open Cluster_CD_NatureCalls from the kit

Copy and paste into our working image

Resize by 80%

Use your Elipse tool to draw a circle.

Stretch or shrink as needed. 

What you want is for it to cover the whole

circle behind the cluster

Convert this circle to a raster

Now on this same circle go to

Selections--Select All--Selections--Float--Selections--Defloat

Open Paper 3

New Raster Layer... Copy and Paste Paper 3 into selection 

on the new raster layer

Delete the circle

KEEP SELECTED

New Raster Layer

Copy your image and paste into selection

This will look great if your using an image 

close to what I am using.... 

Give your tube a small drop Shadow

Duplicate your layer that has the tube on it..

Move this layer above the white layer

but under everything else.

To this layer apply the Mosaic antique with below settings

Columns and Rows 50--Symmetric Checked-- Tile diffusion 70

Grout width 5-- Grout diffusion

Apply the above one more time to same layer....

I at this time cropped off some of the extra I did not need

so I could properly apply my mask.

Copy and paste Paper 10 as a new layer. Place this layer all the way to the bottom

but above the white layer.

Apply Mask 116 

Merge the mask layer...Duplicate this layer 2 times

On the bottom mask layer add a drop shadow

I used 2-2-64-5 and black

Open bird 1 copy and paste him into the working image

Resize by 40%... Place him on the leaves on the top left

corner of our image... Give same drop shadow as above

Open Bow 1 Copy and Paste into your working image

Resize by 40%... Place in the top Right corner on the edge of your

mask... Add same drop shadow.

Delete your White Layer

Add your copyrights

Add your name

I placed my name at the top in between the bird and bow 1

I placed it a bit to the right so it wasn't on top of the bird.

Save as a PNG and you are done... 

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial would love to see what you do. 
I will even showcase them here on this post..
