Ok let's get started...

Open a canvas 600x550, fill with white.
Open 2 flowers of your choice; I open one in pink color and the other in green color,
resize both flowers and post as a new layer in your canvas
move the pink one, to the left top part of your canvas and the green one, to the bottom right part,
give a blur of 10 radius to both flowers.

Open one of the diamond ring; resize and copy and paste in your canvas as a new layer at the right part of your tag.
Open 2 hearts of your choice, resize and post both hearts at the top of the 2 flowers in your canvas,
you may need to rotate both hearts; the one at the top direction 10 left,
the one at the bottom, 10 right.

Open the Vintage frame, resize, copy and paste in your canvas as a new layer and move down and a little to the left of your tag,
with your magic wand select the middle of your frame and fill with a paper or color of your choice.
Do not deselect, Open the fence in psp, resize copy and paste into your frame at the down part,
invert the selection and delete the unwanted parts of it,
invert the selection again, add a new layer, open the grass on psp resize and post below the fence,
invert the selection and delete the unwanted parts,
deselect and merge down, only the fence and the grass,
duplicate by two, you should have 3 layers with the fence and grass merge,
and apply the Flood filter with this settings:
Color white, Horizon, 60 or play a little with this setting, it depend on where you post your grass,
Offset 0, Perspective 57, Altitude 50, the others settings as default,
OK, make your second fence/grass layer active,
Flaming Pear, Flood again and hit on random, OK.
Do the same with the last fence/grass layer.
Now we are going to apply the Alien Skin Xenofex 2, Constellation filter,
we will apply this at the 3 fence/grass layers that already have the flood,
select the first layer and with this settings:
Star size 3.5, size variation 50, Edge star density 5, Overall star density 1, Overdrive 100, Twinkle amount 73,
for the second and third layer apply the same settings just hit random each time.

With your magic wand select the middle of your frame, again,
and post some resized grass to the left part of your tag and also the house mushrooms,
I posted 2 from the kit and the other were tubes from SW,
play a little until you like the look of the little town, and invert the selection,
get rid of all the unwanted parts of the grass and also the flood, deselect.

Add any other embellishment of your choice, play with the little things, and the colors until you have a tag that you enjoy.

Post your tube, the copyright, also give to each layer a soft shadow of your choice. Crop your tag.

Animation:
Back to your layers with your Flood and constellation filters, close 2 of them,
Copy Merge, and open AS, paste as a New Animation,
back on psp close the first layers with your Flood and constellation filters, and open the second,
Copy Merge, go to AS paste After Current Frame, do the same with the last layer.

Save as a gif and you are done.
