Angle = 45 et Echelle = 10.
Selections > Modify > Contract by 6 and fill with black. Selections > Modify > Contract by 1 and fill with another paper of your choice or paper13 and on the Styles Palette, you put the scale back at 100 and the Angle at 0.

Then with the Selection Tool draw a rectangle around the rectangle at the
top, leave some space all around the rectangle, then click in the space and
you should see the marching ants around the rectangle.
Then copy and paste as a new layer and move the copy under the square. Delete
the original.
Activate this new rectangle
layer and Selections > Select All > Selections > Float > Selections > Defloat.
Fill with black.
Selections > Modify > Contract by 1 pixel and use
the Flood Fill Tool to fill the selection with one of the papers. I used:
paper 13. On the Styles Palette, click on Pattern, find your
paper and then and then use these settings: Angle = 0 et Echelle = 100.
Add your tube and the elements.
Click on "square 1" layer and add
"Be Thankful dinner" resized at 27%.
Pumpkins: I used 3, all
resized. The first one is 22% of the original. Then I duplicated the resized
pumpkin and resized it at 85%. I then duplicated Pumpkin 2 and resized it at 90%.
Crow: resized at 30%. Remove the grass around the feet with the Freehand selection tool configured like this:
Selection type - Point to point
Feather - 0
Anti-alias - 1
When
using the Freehand tool, it is important to really zoom in and to go really
slowly, you click with the left button of your mouse as often as possible to
really follow the curves. Then cut around the legs to remove the grass.
Sheep:
resized at 35%.
Then apply the same Drop Shadow to all your elements.
Save with all the layers open.
And resized at 85% if you like the tag not too big.
Close the white
background layer and merge visible all the other layers. Duplicate this layer
and activate the Merged layer.
Click on effects
> Blur > Gaussian Blur and enter 15. In some versions of PSP, you will
find this effect under .
Then Effects > Texture Effects > Weave:
Gap
size = 2
Width = 8
Opacity = 50
Weave color and Gap color = White.
Check
Fill gaps.
Add a new layer right and move it to the top. Add your credits: use Pixelette -
size 6 floating and with anti-alias unchecked.
For the text Happy Thanksgiving I
have used Cheri - Size 28; Bold; anti-alias and Floating checked; Stroke Color
Black and size 1 and Fill Color: 09 with the Angle at
45 and Scale at 10. Add the same Drop Shadow.
File > Save As.
And for my results page, please send a version on a white background. Thank you.
Another result: I used some of the elements in
the kit. In this case, you add the credit for the kit but without a copyright.
