Filters
Mura Meister Copies-Encircle
AAA Frames

Font of Choice, I used Pamega Script

Drop Shadow usually V2 H2 50 black
Use whatever drop shadow you prefer

 *Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*

Open a new image 800 x 800 or one you prefer, paste paper 4, apply your mask, delete, merge group, resize the mask to fit your tag later.

Paste frame 2, resize larger to 155%, click inside with your magic wand, expand by 10, paste paper 5, move up so the trees show unless you would prefer them not to show, invert, delete.
Paste the snow swirl on the frame layer, resize larger to 110%, mirror.
Paste the snow swirl original size, resize to 85%, paste on the paper layer of the frame.

Paste snowflake 2 above the mask layer, flip, apply Mura Meister Copies-Encircle with the first number changed to 20, change the color to match your tag.

Resize your tube to 70%, place at the bottom of the frame.

Paste the sleigh on the right below the cat layer.
Resize the presents to 65%, paste on the right above the cat layer.
Paste tree 2 on the left below the cat layer.
Resize the birdie to 75%, place by the cat on the left.

Resize the blue candy cane to 60%, place by the presents, resize the yellow candy cane to 70%, free rotate to the right at 45 degrees and place by the first one.
Resize bow 4 to 75%, paste at the top of the frame, recolor how you like. I took the blue and gold from the colors and made a gradient with a repeat of 15 to recolor mine.

Add any other elements you would like.

If you want to make a signature tag and Avator do not merge your tag yet.

Signature tag
Open a new image 600 x 250, paste paper 4.
Take each of the elements from your tag and resize most to 70%, or a size you prefer for your tag.
Once happy with it, merge visible and add a frame.
I used AAA Frame-Foto Frames with these settings
3, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 50
Add your copyright and name.

Avator
Open a size you are allowed for your group or forum and resize each element to fit your size,
once happy with the look, merge visible and add the same frame as before.
Add copyright and name.

Crop your tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges of your tag.

Resize first, then add your copyrights and name.

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
