1. We are going to begin by making the brush for the background.

Open your arcade2 tube.

2. Draw a rectangle with your Selection tool,

by beginning exactly at the center top of the

image and then outwards to the left and ...down to the bottom.

 Edit and copy the selection. See below:

(image reduced)

3. Open a new transparent canvas of 650x650 pixels

 (so that you have adequate space)

and paste as a new layer onto the canvas.

Shift somewhat to the left.

If needed: Erase the part of the man still

visible with your Eraser Tool.

 

4. Duplicate this layer in your Layers palette.

Image -- Mirror.

Now fit the two layers neatly together again.

5. Lock the bottom layer in your Layers palette,

and merge the two others.

Selections -- Select All.

Image -- Crop to selection.

 

6. Image -- Resize: 500 x 500 pixels

I chose  #C3BDCB and #FFF4F8.

 

9. Open a new transparent canvas, size 500x500

and fill with your dark color.

Resize to 500 pixels in height.

Copy and paste onto the canvas.

Copy and paste onto your background canvas

and drag down to the bottom right.

14. Add a 1 px light border, 2px dark, 1 px light.

 

15. Add a 15 px black border.

Select with your Magic Wand and fill

with a foreground/background gradient.

Delect.

 

16. Repeat step 14.

18. Selections -- Select All.

Selections -- Modify 22 pixels.

Selections -- Invert.

Effects -- 3D Effects -- Filters Unlimited --

(The "framesize" slide bar can be on anything from 18 to 22, depending

on your preferance)

 

Deselect.

 

19. Open the corner tube.

Copy and Paste onto the canvas and position it.

Merge All Layers.

 

20. Lock your foreground color and choose

a nice font.

I used "Ballade 52" for the music in it :)

Type your text.

Apply a drop shadow of  2,  2,  30,  5,00.

Repeat, but this time with H & V on -2 .

So, this was it.

Enjoy your tag!!

 

If you want to use my script

you will have to make an additional two  background tiles.
