Drop shadow is V -1 H -4, 50, 10, Black or 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, resize paper 2 to 22%, paste, 

apply your mask, resize as needed.

Resize element 6 to 40%, paste, click in the light center part with your

magic wand, mirror your tube, paste on the left, invert, delete, select none.

Duplicate the tube, go to Adjust, Blur, Gaussian blur, number on 5, 

change the blend mode to Screen, merge down.

Duplicate the frame, change the blend mode to Multiply, merge down.

Add a medium gradient glow, number on 4, with #585636 and then add a fat white

gradient glow, using Eye Candy 4000-Gradient glow.

Duplicate the frame, resize to 30%, paste to the right, duplicate, mirror.

Resize element 25 to 50%, paste below the tube, erase any outside the solid part

of the frame.

Resize your tube to 45%, paste at the bottom being on the top layer.

Resize element 11 to 50%, paste at the top above the mask layer, duplicate, flip.

On the Alpha, take each letter and resize to 15%, paste to spell out

watermelon.

I used Freestyle Script to type out Watermelon Days.

Resize element 15 to 25%, paste at the top above the mask layer, erase the 

trunk at the bottom.

Resize element 19 to 25%, paste on the right above the mask, duplicate, move up

a little and in a little more, merge these two together, duplicate, mirror,

duplicate, flip, duplicate, mirror, duplicate again, move up behind the 

small frame just so the leaves show, duplicate, mirror.

Resize element 13 to 15%, paste at the bottom above the wordart.

Resize element 22 to 15%, paste on the mask layer, erasing parts you 

don't want, duplicating, mirror, flip, erasing as you go along, paste 

on the small frames below the tubes and erase the extras.

Resize element 16 to 3%, paste at the bottom on the wordart, duplicate, mirror,

paste on the left.

Resize element 14 to 5%, paste on the right on the small frame.

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

Crop your tag to be sure no shadows or lines are on the edges.

 Then add your copyright and name.

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
