“He‘s all Boy” is a PTU scrap kit in tagger size created by Kesha of KcNScrapz and can be downloaded from her store Lollipops n Gumdrops. You can visit her blog here.
Thank you so much Kesha for a kit that displays all male, big or small!

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

Paste your tube again below the same frame - resize so it’s just a bit larger than the other.
Move into position behind the other tube and offset a bit.
Tap the delete key.
Change the Properties to Soft Light.
