Supplies
Tube of choice

Plugins:
EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow
Xero Radiance

Open a 600x600 new image.
Open up a tube of choice.

Select your Ellipse tool with
your preset shapes.
On your Materials palette,
X out your strole color.
For your fill, choose a color
from your tube.

Draw out various circles
or shapes to coorespond
with your tube. I alternated the
size of the circles I chose to draw.
After you draw each shape, convert
the shape to raster layer.

Once you have enough shapes, merge
all of them together.
Apply a gradent glow to the shapes.
EyeCandy4000 Gradient Glow
Black Halo Glow width 3.00.
Repeat the gradient glow with
Fat setting this time. Apply one last time
with the Black Halo setting.

Now with your main tube,resize 88%
or as needed. Paste as a new layer in
the center of your shapes.

Okay now we want to use the Rectangle
shape tool Fill black Stroke a color from

tube. Width 5.00
Draw a narrow horizontal rectangle.
Convert to raster layer.

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

needed to create "wall" of the rectangles.
You do want to leave a little space between

each one.
Merge the rectangle layers together.
Move this layer below the circle layers.

Staying on the rectangle layer,
selections select all -float & defloat.
Paste your tube ( without resize ) as a new

layer. Position on the left or right side of
the rectangles.
Selections invert & press delete.
Select none.

Duplicate the tube layer & mirror.
This should give you the tube inside
the rectangle layers on either side.
Merge the two layers together.
Merge down with the rectangle layer.

Apply the plugin Xero Radiance
Strangeness 39
Charm 50
Truth 128
Beauty 255
Apply the plugin twice to the tube
rectangle layer.
Resize the layer 88% if needed.

You can add text to the tag.
I added mine in the circles.
Stroke width 1.0
I used a font to fit with my tag.

Merge layers visible.
Crop to desired size.
Add artist copyright info & name.
Save as png.
