You will need:
Paint Shop Pro

Tramages - Zero Tolerance here (find under Screen filters)
Tube of choice - I'm using the art of Anna Rigby.  Visit her gorgeous art here
My Mask here

Fonts of choice or mine Dali here and Chow Fun here

Open a canvas of 600x500.  Take your circle preset tool, background to a gradient to match your tube, set style to radial, angle 90, repeat 7.  Foreground set to a gold or silver gradient, angle 45, line width 4.  Before you convert to raster, Objects/Align/Centre of Canvas.  Duplicate the original and hide for now.  We'll use this near the end.  Now convert the copy to raster.

Apply the filter Tramages/Zero Tolerance with the following settings:

Right, we aren't going to use the whole circle, we want to make a fan shape, so using your selection tool, working from the centre, select the part of the circle you want to delete.  Hit delete and select none.  Now you have your fan shape.  Lets give it a bit more of a finish.  Back to your preset circle.  Hide the foreground, change the background to the gold or silver gradient you used before.  Style radial, angle 45, repeat 4.  Draw out a small circle (see the finished tag for size).  Centre in canvas, then convert to raster.  This should have placed itself perfectly on your fan.  Apply the Zero Tolerance as before.

Now zoom in to the small circle, and with your lasso tool, set to add, select a triangle at either side of the circle.  The triangle should start inline with one side of the fan, and finish inline with the other side of the fan, but not going through the centre, like so:

Hit delete once, and select none.  Merge down.  Duplicate the fan, and then Image/Mirror.  Position both fans to your liking.  You may duplicate again and resize by 50% and give yourself a smaller fan to place as you like.  Add a drop shadow of Vertical and Horizontal, Opacity 45, Blur 12 to all your fans. 

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and add the same drop shadow.  Move below the small fans if you have them, and place it in the middle of your tag.

Add a new layer, and flood fill with a light colour from you tube.  Move this below everything but above your white background.  Apply my mask, or a mask of your choice.  Merge group.  If you are using mine, you may want to duplicate it, and merge down to give it a stronger colour.  Next apply a mask with a hazy edge.  Your PSP should have a few default masks that would be suitable for this.

Take your preset too, using a heart shape, add some small hearts in the dark colour from your tube to the background, in different sizes.  Merge the hearts all together and add Effect/Texture Effects/Blind with the following settings:

Selections, float, defloat, invert and add the same drop shadow you added to your fans and tube.  Select none.

Remember the vector circle we hid at the start?  Well unhide it now, resize it by 110 and move it under one of your fans, so it stands evenly above it.  Activate your top layer, then with your text tool, background colour the colour you used for your heart, foreground to null.  With the font Dali, set to 30, hover your text tool over the circle till the cursor curves.  Click and write your wording.  I chose 'My heart belongs to you'.  Position it over so it sits central above your fan.  Convert to raster, and add the same drop shadow, but change the blur to 6.  Move the circle over to the other fan, and repeat as before.  I'm writing here 'Fan my beating heart'.  Once positioned convert to raster and add the same drop shadow.

Now add your copyright.  Hide the background and select your crop tool.  Click Merged Opaque

and double click your tag to crop.  Unhide your background and merge visible.  Now lets add our name.  Using the font Chow Fun, background a light colour from your tube, foreground the dark colour we used for the hearts, line width 1.5.  Write out your name.  Position to your liking, rotate a little if you like, and convert to raster.  Take your magic wand, set to add, and select the centre of each letter.  Apply an inner bevel as followed:

Select none and apply inner bevel again.  Add a drop shadow of choice.  Save as a jpeg or png.  You are done.  I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
