This week we are going to working with PSP Shapes

Open a new white image 500x500 pixels

Add a new raster layer

Choose a Dark Colour from your tube for the foreground colour and close the background colour

Now Click on Preset Shapes and choose the eclipse then circle on your top 3rd toolbar choose Width 4 Miter Limit 1 line style solid

Then draw out a medium then right click on the circle layer and go convert to raster layer. Up to Objects align centre of canvas Use Your Magic Wand to click inside the retangle and go to Selections Modify expand by 2

Now add a new raster layer fill this layer with a pattern or colour to suit your tag then click selections invert and hit delete on your keyboard this will now take away the excess colour then effects drop shadow 1 1 100 and 3 on to the circle frame layer then drop shadow again -1 -1 100 3

Now you made add doodles or word art into the circle.If you add doodles you may like to as I have done place the doodles under the circle which you can do by right clicking on the doodle layer arrange and send to bottom and have it just above your white layer.

Now add a new layer and draw another circle this time using the style line diamonds which I have added here.

 You will need to install the line style to C Programs Corel /Jasc Line Styles Folder. 

On your color palette close off background colour and only have foreground colour change the width to 4 and miterline to 1 draw out your circle  use your side nodes to pull out if it is a little squeeshed in

 Up To Objects Align Centre in CanvasThen add the same dropshadow to the outer circle

Add your tube placing it to the left of the tag add the same dropshadow as you placed on your circle. Right click on your tube layer and go arrange bring to top. Add a new layer and place your wording where ever you wish to have it inside the circle. Now add your credits for the artist and place your watermark.Merge All Layers save as a JPEG. You may also like to save a copy as PSP Image so you may have it on hand to make for friends.

Now you may crop to resize or just click resize image all layers checked and take it to the size you wish it to be.

I have added a tube and a doodle for you to use or you are welcome to use your own.
