On your dark colour layer and mask layer hit delete to get rid of everything
outside the frame.
While its still selected, click it on the tube layer and erase any parts
overhanging the frame that you don't want there.
Selections - Select None
Now using either the lasso tool or eraser we need to clean up some of the extra
beads outside the frame, see my final tag for guidance.
Add a drop shadow to the frame and tube layers. I used H + W = 2, Op = 100, Bl =
5, Colour Black.
Add the clarey_purepurple_beadswirl1 and put it just above your background
layer. Move it round till its in a position you like behind the frame.

Add the same drop shadow as above.
Hide off your white Bg Layer. Click on your top layer and Layers - Merge - Merge
Visible.
Add your copywrite. Mine is the gorgeous work of Abbo Art.
Add your Name, I used the font Mrs Blackfort size 72. Then added the Round inner
bevel preset and same drop shadow as before.

Open Animation shop and paste as a new animation.
Duplicate your tag twice for a total of 3 frames.
