one of the top squares down about 3/4 of the way, then the other side
until as flat as you want, move to the bottom.

Paste element 6, resize to 85%, click inside with the magic wand,
expand by 5, paste paper 12, invert, delete, then paste your close up, delete,
select none.

Resize element 44 to 12%, duplicate several time and paste on the tree
how you like.

Resize element 27 to 30%, paste at the bottom right below the tube.
Paste element 66 on the tree, add a drop shadow so you can see and erase
the parts off the tree.

Resize element 123 to 10%, paste at the bottom by the tube, duplicate,
move by the candles.

Add any other elements you would like to add.

Once happy with your tag, close off any background you might have used.

Crop your tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges,  merge visible.

Resize first, sharpen, add your copyright and name.

That's it
