*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*
Open a new image 800 x 800, paste paper 5, apply DD mask 3, delete and merge group, resize larger to 115%.
Paste paper 5 again, apply WSL Mask 84, delete, merge group, select all, float, defloat, resize your full tube to 65%, paste on the left, apply Mura Meister Copies-Lines, 1/n Fade out checked, invert, delete, select none.
Duplicate the tube, Adjust, Blur, Gaussian blur, number on 4, change the blend mode to Screen, then apply the Screen Works filter-Light Gauze.
Resize element 15 to 85%, apply Mura Meister Copies-Encircle, paste below the mask layers.
Paste element 4 below the star circle you just made on one side, duplicate, mirror.
Resize your full tube to 65%, paste on the right side.
Paste element 2 below the tube layer, apply Mura Meister Copies-Tiling with the gap number set to 10, erase the outer parts you don't want or use your free hand tool and go around the outside ones and delete. Use a white drop shadow first then your darker one.
Paste element 15 between the music line, duplicate and move down between the other one, same drop shadow, white first.
Duplicate your tube and move to the top layer, erase the legs covering the music lines at the bottom and erase the legs showing below the lines.

Once happy with your tag, close off any background if you used one, merge visible, resize first, then add your copyright and name.

Open a size that is allowed for your group or forum, I did 200 x 200.
