Click on circle1 layer, Select all, float & Defloat. Copy & Paste paper5, invert then hit delete key and apply dropshadow with the settings of V & H - 1, Opacity - 50 and Blur - 5.00. Delete the original layer and on stitches 1 layer and apply dropshadow with the same settings as before. Repeat this with the other 3 circle layers, I used Paper10 for circle 3, Paper7 for Circle 2 and Paper8 for Circle 4. Delete the original circle layers.

Click on the square bkg layer. Select all, float & defloat, copy & paste paper1 then go to Selections - Invert and hit the delete key. Select None. Delete the original layer and repeat this with other bkg layers. I used Paper2 for square bkg2, Paper3 for square bkg3 and I used a light purple colour flood fill for square bkg4. Delete the original square bkg layers.

Click on the frame1 layer, select all, float & defloat and add a new layer, copy and paste paper3 as new layer. Invert then hit the delete key. Select none, apply dropshadow with these settings of V & H - 1, Opacity - 80 and Blur - 10.00. Delete the original frame layer. Repeat this with other frames, I used paper2 for frame3, paper1 for frame2 and paper13 for frame4. Delete the original layers also delete the wordart, flower & butterfly layers.

Click on the first square bkg layer, select all, float & defloat. Copy & paste a tube of your choice, Invert then hit the delete key and click on your tube layer palette, right click properties, change the blend mode to Lumiance Legacy. Repeat this with other 3 bkg layers.

Open Vix's GlitteredLeaves element, copy & paste as a new layer and move it to the left, duplicate it and move it to the right. Add dropshadow with these settings of V & H - 1, Opacity - 70 and Blur - 6.00.

Open Vix's ButterflyCluster element, copy & paste as a new layer and place it on the circles but move it under the glitteredleaves layer. Duplicate it, resize it at 50% smartsize then move it up above the glitteredleaves, place it on the right of the GlitteredLeaves element and duplicate it then mirror it. I didn't add dropshadow on this one.

Open Vix's Flowers element, copy & paste as a new layer and resize it at 50% smartsize. Move it to the right below the GlitteredLeaves, use your pick/deform tool and move it down slightly to straight. Duplicate it and mirror, adjust - sharpen and add dropshadow with the same settings as before.

Click on top layer, open Vix's Buttefly element then copy & paste as a new layer, resize it at 50% smartsize and rotate it at 25 Right. Sharpen it and apply dropshadow with the same settings as before. Open Vix's Flower element, copy & paste as a new layer, resize it at 50% smartsize then sharpen it and apply the same dropshadow. Move it below the original butterflycluster.

Open your tube of choice, copy & paste as a new layer then move it below the glitteredleaves. Apply dropshadow with these settings of V & H - 1, Opacity - 50 and Blur - 5.00. Grab your eraser tool and erase the tube that is showing outside the glitteredleaves.

Click on background layer, add a new layer and select all, copy & paste paper8 and apply the mask. Add new layer, select all and copy & paste paper13, apply the same mask and resize it at 90%. Merge down, move it to the right and duplicate it then mirror it.

Add your text, I used the colour #63225d for foreground and #fcd48d for background. Apply dropshadow with the same settings as we did with the elements before. Add copyright info and resize it to your liking then save it as .png or .jpeg.

Wooohooo You're all done!!!!
