elements on layers.

On your Materials palette, X out
or hide the Stroke palette.
On your Fill palette, fill with the
color black.

Select your rectangle preset shape.
Make sure it is selected to the rectangle.
Draw out a nice sized rectangle in middle

Duplicate the rectangle layer once.
Fill with a different color from your tube.

Next open a mixing bowl.
I resized 50% and 70% once each.

going after the book & girl.

Open one or two cupcake layers -depending
on what tube you are using. Resize the cupcakes
50% twice. Paste one on the bottom right corner
of the tag. Mirror the 2nd cupcake. Mirror on the

Duplicate the rectangle layer 7 times.
Move the duplicate layers up & down as

needed to create "wall" of the rectangles.
