       [size=12pt]I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should
       be able to create this tag in all versions.
       Supplies needed:
       A tube or close up of your choice.  I'm using one by Amy Brown
  HTML http://www.amybrownart.com
       which is available from CDO
  HTML http://www.cdoestore.com
       .
       Please do not use the same tube without the appropriate license.
       Font of choice.  I've used Lancastershire.
       Plugins:
       Alien Skin Eye Candy 5:Impact - Gradient Glow (optional)
       1.  Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels.
       2.  Select two colours from your tube and create a
       foreground-background gradient with the following settings:

       3.  Apply Effects - Texture Effects - Mosaic Antique with the
       following settings:
  HTML http://images61.fotki.com/v53/photos/5/1294515/8684281/MosaicPentagonAntiqueMosaic-vi.jpg
       4.  Duplicate this layer.  On the duplicate, apply Effects -
       Illumination Effects - Sunburst with the following settings:
  HTML http://images57.fotki.com/v81/photos/5/1294515/11524905/MosaicPentagonSunburst-vi.jpg
       5.  On your Sunburst layer, apply Effects - Geometric Effects -
       Pentagon with the following settings:
  HTML http://images54.fotki.com/v461/photos/5/1294515/11524905/MosaicPentagonPentagon-vi.jpg<br
       />
       6.  Still on your Pentagon layer, apply Effects - Image Effects
       - Offset with the following settings:
  HTML http://images16.fotki.com/v378/photos/5/1294515/11524905/MosaicPentagonOffset-vi.jpg
       7.  Duplicate your Pentagon layer, Image - Mirror.  Merge your
       two Pentagon layers together and apply a drop shadow
       (I used 0, 0, 100, 15, black)
       8.  Add your tube or close up.  Move it into position and apply
       a drop shadow of choice.
       9.  Add a new raster layer.  Flood fill it with a dark colour of
       your choice.
       Selections - Select All.  Selections - Modify - Contract by 3.
       Press Delete on your keyboard.
       Selections - Select None.
       10.  Add your name and copyright and license number (if
       necessary).
       I added a Gradient Glow and drop shadow to my name as well
       And you’re done :)
