Take your free hand tool and draw around the orange circle of the clock or go to your preset and select circle, background set at null, line with 2 and draw a circle around the orange part, past your close up tube on one side, invert, delete.
Mirror your tube before pasting again and place a bit lower than the first one, delete and select none, change the opacity on both to about 20 or what you like and merge down with the clock.

Element 03, take your free hand tool, draw around the beads until you have gone completely around them, not getting the larger ornaments, copy and paste on your new tag, flip, you might have to get rid of some shading still first, then resize to 65%, duplicate to use later under your tube, then apply Mura Meister Copies-Encircle, move below the clock layer.

Resize element 3 to 65%, place on the left side.

I wrote out Happy New Year using akaDora font and color #723620.
Convert to a raster layer, then delete the circle layer you drew.

Paste paper 6, then crop your tag.
Take the bottom 6 layers of your tag and paste one at a time, resize the greenery to 95%, copy the clock, resize to 90% and move down just a bit.

Paste your original tube and resize if you like, I just resize mine very little and placed on the right side.
Back to your tag, copy the papers below your tube layer and resize to 75% and place below your tube layer on the signature tag.
Back to the tag, copy the gift box and resize to 70%, place on the left side below the tube layer and erase the little holly by the clock hands.

Apply the glass and white background for the saying and name as before.

For Avator, size whatever is allowed in your group or forum.
I used 175 x 200
Paste paper 6, crop your tag, go to your tag, copy the clock, paste and resize to 40%.
Resize the gift box to 40%, place on the left, erase the holly,  resize the champagne bottle to 30% and place more in the center.
