I created this tutorial with PSPX1 but I'm
sure it can be done in any version of PSP.
My steps are easy enough to follow.
No scrap kit used in this tutorial, just your imagination.

You will need:
A tube - I used one of Angela Newmans cute tubes.
You need to be a registered member of PSP Tubes Emporium (PTE)

to purchase her tubes, but any tube will do

Make Rectangle 2 background layer active - Select All-Float-Defloat. New raster layer,
flood fill with a dark colour from your tube. Selections-None. Delete original layer.

Make Rectangle 2 layer active - Select All-Float-Defloat - flood fill with a gradient of a
light colour from your tube as the foreground colour & a dark colour from your tube as the

Now you can colourize the Circle 2 layer if you wish, I left it black.
Make Circle 1 layer active - Select All-Float-Defloat, flood fill it with your gradient.
Then go to Adjust-Add/Remove Noise-Add Noise-Uniform 65-Monchrome ticked. Don't worry about the small
purple circular section on bottom, we will delete that shortly.

Make Frame 2 fill layer active-Select All-Float-Defloat, flood fill with your gradient colour.
Add the DSB Flux-Spider Web effect as before.
Keep selected - copy & paste your tube as a new layer - position the tube centre of the selected rectangle,
when you have that done, Selections-Invert, hit delete. Selections-None - duplicate the tube layer &
on bottom tube layer go to Adjust-Blur-Gaussian Blur 15. Make top tube layer active - go to Blend Mode,
Soft Light.

Make Frame 2 trim layer active - Select All-Float-Defloat-new raster layer, flood fill with dark colour.

rectangle, Selections-Invert, hit delete. Selections-None. Duplicate-Blur the same as before & add Blend Mode
to the top tube layer as before.

Make Frame 1 trim active - same as before as well as Frame 1. Add drop shadow to Frame 1 trim.

Now we will delete the next 2 layers. Circle 2 & circle 1 overlaps

Make Leafy Vine layer active - Select All-Float-Defloat-new raster layer, flood fill with dark colour.
Selections-None, add drop shadow.
Make Large Flower layer active - Select All-Float-Defloat-new raster laye, flood fill with your gradient.
Do the same for Large Flower 1 centre, but flood fill it with dark colour & add noise effect & drop shadow.

Do the same for the next 2 layers on the template but change the colours around for the flower & centre.

Cross out the eyes on all layers except White Background-Small Flowers 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 - Merge Visible. Turn the eyes back on on
all other layers now. Go up to the Merge Flowers layer, flood fill with dark colour - add noise effect & drop shadow.

Cross out the eyes once more on the very bottom layer (white) Merge VISIBLE all other layers. Turn the eyes back on on the
white background. Add your name & correct copyright. Cross out eyes once more, make one of the other layers active,
click COPY & paste as a New Image on your workspcae. Your image should now have a transparent background.
Resize to your liking - I resized mine 90% Bicubic-all layers CHECKED. Save as a *Png Image
