Drop shadow is  V-1 H-4 Black, 50, 10, use what you prefer.

Let's get started

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

Open a new image 800 x 800 or a size you prefer.

I always fill with white and delete the white layer at the end. 

Paste paper 7, apply your mask, delete, merge group.

Resize frame 3 to 95%, paste, flip.

Resize element 73 to 60%, paste on the frame on the left and up a bit,

duplicate, mirror, move up a bit more on the right.

Resize element 42 to 75%, paste on the right and move up,

duplicate, mirror.

Adjust everything once the elements are all on the tag.

Paste element 63 on the right and up a little, duplicate, mirror, move 

down a little.

Paste element 67 about center and adjust all the others under it how

you like.

Resize element 52 to 50%, paste at the top below the other elements.

Resize element 11 to 70%, paste on the left below the top layer.

Paste element 8 above the bird house and in behind the top layer a bit,

duplicate, mirror.

Resize element 32 to 40%, paste on the lower left being on the top layer now.

Resize element 13 to 65%, paste on the lower right, duplicate, mirror.

Paste element 2 at the bottom, duplicate, resize to 50%, move above the tube 

once pasted.

Resize your tube to 50%, paste where you like.

Resize element 64 to 40%, paste at the lower left being on the top layer.

Resize element 20 to 50%, paste on the left.

Resize element 14, 16 and 17 to 20%, paste by the lantern, free rotate one to

40 degrees and one to 90 degrees, place how you like.

Resize element 6 to 30%, free rotate to the left at 20 degrees, paste below 

the lantern layer on the left, duplicate, mirror.

Resize element 43 to 50%, free rotate to the left at 45 degrees, paste on the

right below the brown paper flower.

Resize element 26 to 20%, duplicate, paste one to the right of the ornaments and

the other one to the left of the lantern.

Resize element 10 to 25%, paste behind the ornaments above the tube.

Add any other elements that you would like, make it your own.

Always readjust your mask and elements how you like them before you

 merge your tag, sharpen once.
Crop your tag to make sure no shadows or anything on the edges

 Then add your copyright and name.

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
