It is written using psp 9 but should work in any other version.

  I am using a tube by Elias Chatzoudis #132-1

  And the inspired by kit by Gimptastic Scraps 

You can purchase these at Creative Design Outlet

 You will have to have a license to use this tube. 

The font I used is Steam Punk Flyer

Ok Ready?

Open frame #2.

  Shift +D to duplicate, close the original.

  Re-size canvas to 650 by 650.

  Use your magic wand and click inside each frame, you will need to click several times to select it all,

  Expand the selection by 3.

Open paper 3, flip it. copy and paste it as a new layer onto your tag, selections invert and hit delete on      your keyboard.  Drag it below the frame layer.  Selections invert again. Right under the frame layer        add a new raster layer,
Go Effects- 3-D Effects and Cutout, with your favorite settings.
   Mine are: -2,2,18,5. Shadow color black. 
   Now add another new raster layer and repeat the cutout. This time I did : 2, -2.
   Select none and merge the 2 cutout layers.

Add your tube under this layer, Resize as desired, and add your favorite effects now.

Make your frame layer active and with your magic wand click outside of the frame, 
  you will need to click several times because of the shadow on the frame.
  Make your tube layer active and hit delete on your keyboard to remove the tube outside of your              frame.  Select none.

Make the top layer active, Add my word art (Or make your own)

  Add your favorite drop shadow. or text effects.
Now add your favorite elements from the kit, resize and add a drop shadow if desired.

And don't forget to add your Copywright.

Now add element 6 from the kit (The flash).  I resized by 80%.Position as desired.

If you aren't going to animate it, add your name using your chosen font, and your favorite text effects.

Save as a png.

-------------------------------------------

If you are animating the tag:

Hide the flash layer, copy merged.

In Animation shop, paste as a new animation. Duplicate this frame twice.

Now head back to PSP, unhide the flash layer and copy merged.

Back in animation shop paste it after current layer.

Go back to PSP and hide the flash layer, copy merged, in Animation shop paste after current layer

Back to psp and unhide the flash layer and copy merged. 

Head back to Animation shop and paste after current layer.

Select all frames, go to Animation- frame properties, and change the speed to 20.

Now click view animation. If you are happy with the speed, save it so you can add names later.
