What you create is yours

1. Open a new transparent image, 600x600.

2. With the preset shape tool, circle, foreground color, #ff4013, background color,#6a4745 or color of choice, width 20. Draw a circle size, 800x800, convert to raster layer.

3. With the magic wand, tolerance 30, add shift, click in the center, the center color of the circle, should be selected. Go to effects, texture, weave, use the settings below. Deselect.

4. Draw another circle, with the foreground color, black, background color, null. Settings, line style, straight line, width set at 1. Make the circle so it is in the center of the orange color for the text. Go to object, align, center on canvas, you can use the pick tool to adjust the size. Leave it as a vector.

5. Using the text tool, material palette settings, background color, #6b4846, foreground color, black, font I used is, Gungsuh and the size is, 20 pixels, stroke width 01, create as floating. With the text curser, place it on the top of the vector circle. When you see the cursor change to a large A with curved line under it, click and start typing, Halloween, all the way around. I ended up using all white text.

6. To add the mask, open in PSP, minimize, flood fill the bottom layer with a color of choice, I used, #f88074. Go to menu, layers, down the list to new mask layer, from image, when the window opens, choose, ween-mask.jpg. Merge group.

7. Now we can start adding all the elements, your tube, ghost, bats, cats, decorations. add a drop shadow if you wish.

8. If your tube is cut off at the bottom, grab the eraser tool, size 50, hardness, 22, activate the tube layer and erase the bottom not too far up. Add a drop shadow to the deco after you place it under the circle. V, H, 2, opacity, 100, blur, 6, color, #6b4846. duplicate and mirror, merge the two, duplicate and flip, place at the bottom, duplicate again and slide to the middle .Save as a png or jpg.
