Open a new canvas 800 x 800, floodfill white. We are going to make a frame. Copy and paste star, re-size 50%. Mura Meisters copies, encircle. Change the number to 16. Resize 120%. Click inside the frame with your magic wand, selections, modify, expand by 5. Copy and paste paper 1 as a new layer under your frame layer, selections, invert, delete. Select none. Drop shadow your frame.

Copy and paste your tube as the top layer, this helps when placing your elements.

Copy and paste house, re-size 70%. See my tag for placement of all elements, and drop shadow them as you go.

Copy and paste candy glass, re-size 60%, place on the right side of the tag.

Copy and paste the leaves and place at the bottom of the frame.
Copy and paste a Xmas tree, I used tree 2. Resize 60% and place below the house.
Copy and paste the hat, place under the candy glass

Copy and paste snowman, re-size 50%.

Copy and paste cocoa, re-size 60%
Go back to your tube layer, effects xero radiance, just hit random until you see an effect you like. Duplicate the tube, and on the copy, adjust blur, gaussian blur 4. Change the blend mode to soft light. Drop shadow the original layer.

Crop your tag, re-size and add your artists credits and your name and some sparkles!! You're done!
