Canvas size at 600 x 600. Flood fill the rest of background layer with white. Delete the copyright info.

Click on circle layer, select all, float & defloat. Copy & paste paper8, invert and hit delete key then add dropshadow with the settings of V & H - 1, Opacity - 50 & Blur 5.00. Delete the original circle layer.

Open Frame4 from Bluey's kit, resize it at 75% smartsize and add dropshadow with the same settings as before.

Click on the Large Rectangle layer, select all then add a new layer and copy & paste paper4 from Bluey's kit then select none. Go to Effects - penta.com's dot & cross and apply with the default settings. Select all, float & defloat, copy & paste a tube of your choice, invert then hit delete key and click on the tube layer's properties, luminance(L) and lower opacity to 70. Duplicate and mirror it, move it slightly if it is showing outside the rectangle. Don't select none yet, modify - expand 2 and add a new layer, flood fill it with this colour #6c9b4b. Select none and add same dropshadow as before.

Click on 2 Small Rectangles layer, select all, float & defloat. Copy & paste paper6, invert and hit delete key. Add dropshadow with the same settings as before.

Click on the wordart1 layer. Select all, copy & paste paper5 as new layer and invert then hit the delete key. Select none and add dropshadow with the same settings as we did with the last wordart.

Delete the Clovers layer. Copy & paste Sharmock2 as a new layer, resize it at 40% smartsize and rotate it at 25% Left. Sharpen it and add dropshadow with the same settings as we did with the rectangle earlier. Duplicate and mirror it. Place them on where the previous clovers layer was.

Open Pendant2 and resize it at 50% smartsize with all layers checked. Copy & paste as a new layer and add dropshadow with the same settings as before.

Open your tube, copy & paste as a new layer. Add same dropshadow as before.

Click on the background layer, select all and copy & paste paper1 into selection. Select none, find Sabre's SLCloversDaydream mask, delete and merge groups. Duplicate it once. Merge down.

Add your text. I add Eye Candy's Gradient Glow's fat settings on 3.00, 25 & 100 a couple of times but I added green with this colour #6c9b4b in the last glow. Add dropshadow with the same settings as before. Save as .png.
