I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should be able to create this tag in all versions.
I am assuming you have some knowledge of how PSP works.
Supplies needed:
A tube of choice. I’m using one by Karen Middleton (http://www.karenmiddletonillustration.co.uk), which is available from CDO (http://www.cdoestore.com)
Please do not use unless you have the appropriate license number.
Font of choice. I've used John Lennon
Scrap Elements of choice. I've used ones from Foxy's Designz (http://foxysdesignz.blogspot.com.au/), which is a PTU scrap kit, also available from CDO (http://www.cdoestore.com)
Plugins:
Mura’s Meister – Copies
Xero - Abstractor
AAA Frames - Foto Frame
1. Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels
2. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.
3. Apply Mura Meister Copies, using the Wallpaper (Rotate) default settings.
4. Crop image to 600x250 pixels. Adjust – Blur – Radial Blur with the following settings:

Change the Blend Mode to Soft Light, or one that suits your tag. Merge Visible.
6. Add any elements you like to your tag - I've used Elements 9 and 11 out of my kit.
I also changed the blend mode of Element 9 to Overlay.
Add drop shadows, if required.
7. Paste your tube as a new layer and move it into position. Add a drop shadow of choice.
8. Highlight your bottom layer (this should be the layer you merged in step 5).
Apply AAA Frames - Foto Frame with the following settings:

9. Add a new raster layer, and move it above your other layers. Flood fill it with black.
Selections - Select All. Selections - Modify - Contract by 1. Flood fill with white. Keep Selected.
Selections - Select All. Selections - Modify - Contract by 1. Press Delete on your keyboard.
Selections - Select None.
10. Add your name, copyright and license number (if required).
And you're done :)
