Add any other elements that you would like, make it your own.
Do not merge if you are going to do a Signature and Avator.
Once happy with your tag, close off any background used,
crop your tag to make sure no shadows or anything on the edges, merge visible.
Resize your tag first, then add your copyright and name.
If you want to do a Signature tag, open a new image 600 x 250
To do the signature tag,
I closed off the frame, tube, papers, mask, butterfly and anything else
I didn't want on the sig tag.
I pasted the stars separate and rotated them a little to blend in better on each side.
You will have to play around with the sizing to get it how you want.
Add your copyright and name.
Avator
200 x 200
Paste the tag without the main tube first, resize to your liking,
then add the tube, resize and move how you like, add your frame.
I used AAA Frames-Foto Frame, first number on 2 and white frame.
Add your copyright and name.
