Thank you Jay for a really terrific kit!

This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 X 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Element 12 as a new layer.
Resize 85%

Copy and paste Element 46 as a new layer.
Resize 60%
Free rotate left 90 degrees
Move to the left just a bit and move the clock face to the right just a bit.
See my tag for reference.

Highlight the frame layer.
Click inside with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 6.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect for now.

Copy and paste Element 49 as a new layer.
Resize 40%/Mirror
Move beneath the frame in your layers pallet - we’ll come back to this in a minute.
Paste the element again but above the frame in your layers pallet.
Resize 35%.
Move this tube exactly where you want it.
Highlight the tube that's below the frame and move it up and to the left just a bit - enough so that you can see it just over the shoulder of the other tube.
Lower the Opacity to about 28 or so.
Highlight the frame layer.
Click inside of it with your Magic Wand.
Selections/Modify/Expand by 6
Selections/Invert
Highlight the tube layer.

TIP: You can Merge Visible the paper frame and tube if you would like to get the frame and clock face into better position.

Copy and paste Element 22 as a new layer.
