STEP 1: Mask

Open an image 750 x 600. Fill with white.
Add a layer. Selections > Select All and fill the selection with the paper pst_2thbirthday. Colorise with a colour of your tube, with the Hue at 147 and Saturation at 255.
Selections > Select None.
Open DBV Mask 111. Masks > New > From image - OK. Then Masks > Delete. In PSP 8 and above, it's under Layers > New Mask Layer > From Image. OK then Layers > Delete.

STEP 2: Elements and Tube

Drop Shadow: I used this on most of the elements and also on the tube

V = 9	O = 11
H = 9	B = 2

pst_2thbirthday (12) - 40%. Place on the left. And colorize with the same colour: Hue at 147 and Saturation at 255.
pst_2thbirthday (15) - 30%. At the bottom.
pst_2thbirthday (18) - Image > Miror. 30%.
pst_2thbirthday (2) - 20%. At the bottom. Colorize as you did before.
pst_2thbirthday (5) - 25%. Colorize as before.
Click inside the frame with your Magic Wand > Selections > Modify > Expand by 5 pixels. Add a layer and fill with the paper pst_2thbirthday and then colorize as before with the Hue at 147 and the Saturation at 255.
Add your tube and then apply Unplugged Tools > Interlace

Selections > Select None. In the Layers palette, set the opacity of this layer to Overlay.
Move those those layers: the paper and then the tube under the frame pst_2thbirthday (5).
Activate the frame layer and now add the wordart May all your wishes come true at the top. I colorized it in pink with the Hue at 233 and the Saturation at 133.
pst_2thbirthday (16) - 20%. On the right of the frame.
pst_2thbirthday (9) - 20%. Colorize as before with the Hue at 233 and the Saturation at 133. Place on the left.
