4.  Restore the tube that you will be using on your tag - Edit/Copy; back to the tag image and Edit/Paste As New Layer.  Resize your tube if needed  and apply a drop shadow effect to the tube changing the blur to 8.  Position your tube as shown in header tag.  Restore the Mushroom - Edit/Copy; back to the tag image and Edit/Paste As New Layer.  Resize the mushroom by 50% three times.  Apply a drop shadow effect to the mushroom.  Position the mushroom at the bottom right side of the template (see header tag).

5.  Restore the Leaf - Edit/Copy; back to the tag image and Edit/Paste As New Layer.  Resize the leaf by 50% three times and 65% one time.  Position the leaf on the bottom of the mushroom.  Apply a drop shadow effect to the leaf.  Restore the Nut - Edit/Copy; back to the tag image and Edit/Paste As New Layer.  Resize the nuts by 50% three times and by 75% one time.  Image/Mirror.  Position the nuts beneath the leaves on the left side of the template.  Apply a drop shadow effect to the nuts.

6.  Restore the Tupai (squirrel) - Edit/Copy; back to the tag image and Edit/Paste As New Layer.  Resize the squirrel by 50% three times and by 75% one time.  Image/Mirror.  Position the squirrel next to the nuts on the left side of the tag.  Apply a drop shadow effect to the squirrel.  Restore the Owl - Edit/Copy; back to the tag image and Edit/Paste As New Layer.  Resize the owl by 50% three times and 75% one time.  Position the owl on the top of the Strip layer.  Apply a drop shadow effect to the owl.

8.  Add any copyright info that is needed to your tag.  Add your name or watermark to your tag.  I used the font RM Ginger for my name using the Paper8 for the text fill and the lime green color in the Paper8 for the text stroke.  Layers/Merge/Merge All (flatten).  Crop away any excess white space that may be around your tag.  Resize your tag if needed and save in desired format.
