*~ Let's get started ~*

1. Open template 37, Shift D, close original. Use copy.

select all, float, defloat, add NRL

Change foreground colour to #f66a77, flood fill the circles. d/s

Drop opacity to '56'

Delete purple circles back.

Open elem 73 ~ 80% C/P above white bg layer.

Change this layer to white using brightness/contrast 255/0.

6.  Select purple square/rectangle layer

Using rectangular selection tool, loosely draw a rectangle selection

around the top purple rectangle 'only' ~ float, defloat. NRL

open elem 2, C/Paste into the selection. d/s

Change colour of this grey element to pink using

colour changer tool, foreground colour set to #eeb4c5.

Duplicate this element. Drag copy over the 'bottom' of the purple square/rectangle layer.

At this point, we do not need to fill or cover the middle square area.

Close the purple square/rectangle layer for now.

rotate 35 deg to left, sharpen once

8. Customize your tag with elements of choice or mine:

elem 27 ~ 50%, duplicate

elem 48 ~ 40%

elem 94 ~ 50%

elem 42 ~ 40%, duplicate, resize 75%, rotate 22 deg left, sharpen once

move below larger pillow, slightly left

*see reference tag*

Duplicate each pillow ~ change copy layer to 'screen' for each pillow

and drop opacity to 40. 

I use 'screen' mode frequently to soften/brighten the colour of elements.

9. Add main tube, place below pillow layers.

Resize tube if needed.

This tube has small hearts attached to the png.

I drew a point-to-point selection around some of these hearts

& promoted the selection to a new layer. d/s  Resize 50%. Rename this layer 'hearts' to make

them easier to find.

I used these hearts to decorate the 'Name' layer at the completion of this tag.

Add a light D/S to the hearts if desired.
