It is written assuming you have a basic knowledge of PSP and its tools.
It is written using PSP 9 but should work in any other version.
For this tag you will need:
A fat font of choice,
I am using ShowCard Gothic.
And you will need another font of choice for the name.

You will also need this gradient made by Kathyfrances.
You can find it at the Escape from Reality Blog 
the gradient is Here

You will need several tubes by Marilyn Allen.
You can find them Here
Please remember to use appropriate
copy wright; and follow her TOU.

Ready?

Open a new image 600x600 With a transparent background.
Grab your text tool and choose your font.
I am using Showcard Gothic  size 90. Stroke 5; Color of choice, b/g null.
Type EASTER
Then go objects and align in center of canvas. Then convert to raster.
Use your magic wand to select inside of each of your letters.
Expand the selection X1. add a new raster layer and drag it to the bottom.
Go to effects, 3-D effects and cutout.
Here are my settings

Add a new layer and repeat the cutout, changing
the settings for H and V to 2.
Merge down. add a new layer and expand the selection again X1.
Grab your flood fill tool and on your materials pallette go
pattern. Find the gradient in the drop down menu. 
Fill the letters with the pattern. select none. 
Add an inner bevel to the word outline.


Merge all the text layers and then add a drop shadow.

Paste the duck above the text layer.
Add the same drop shadow.
With your selection tool ,select 
Just the hand of the duck.

And then invert the selection. Now
promote the selection to layer.
Activate the tube layer again and hit delete,
on your keyboard.
Now drag the promoted selection below the text layer.
Add the other tubes now. Resizing as desired.
Add the same drop shadow to each.
Don't forget the copywright.



Choose another font and type Happy.
Add your favorite text effects.
Crop excess canvas,
Choose another font and type your name.
Use your favorite text effects again.
Open the gradient again,
Add a new layer to your tag and drag it to the bottom.
Select all and paste the gradient into selection.
Select none and load a mask of choice.
