You will need:

Paint Shop Pro
Tube of your choice.  I used Zindy Zone who is My PSP Tubes artist.  You can purchase a license here.
Font of your choice.  I used Saginaw which you can find here.

Okay, lets get started.  Open a new canvas 600 x 600, flood filled white.  Don't worry if it is too big, we will crop later.  Copy and paste over your tube.  Take your rectangle tool, background set to null, foreground dark colour from your tube, width set at nine.  New raster layer, and draw a rectangle around your tube, like so.

Convert to raster.  Take your magic wand, feather 2, and click inside your rectangle shape.  New layer, and move below your tube layer.  Flood fill with a colour from your tube.  Still selected go to effects/texture/blinds, and apply the following settings.

Use a lighter shade of your original colour in your colour box for the shading of your blind effect.  Deselect.  Hide your white background, and merge visible.  Unhide your white background, and add a drop shadow to your merged layer.  V- -3, H- -3, opacity 55, and blur 10.

Take your rectangle tool, select square, same settings as before, draw out a square on the right edge of your image.  Convert to raster, duplicate twice, then flip one of them, and move the other down between the two.

With one of the squares active, take your selection tool, and select inside the square.  Selections/Modify/Expand bye 2.  Then take your original tube and paste as a new layer below the square you have selected.  Position over the part you want to show.  Invert and hit delete.  Repeat this with the other two squares.  Merge each square down onto it's tube selection.

Now we need to line it up.  So position middle square against the bottom image, like this.

 Click on the middle image layer to make it active, hold down your up arrow on your keyboard until the image has lined up centrally.  Merge these three images together and add the same drop shadow you used earlier.

Decorate with any embellishments you fancy.

Now we are going to add our text.  I'm using Saginaw, in the same colour I used for my background.  Position as desired, and add the same drop shadow as before but change the opacity to 100.  Merge visible, resize, add your copyright, and crop.  Save as a jpeg.

You are done.  I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
