REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
Open my mask and the tube of your choice in psp and minimize. If you don't have Eye Candy 5 then open the Brick Wall pattern and the bath mat in psp too.
Open a new 500 x 500 pixel image. Flood fill with White.
Add a new Raster layer name it Tiles.
Go to Effects - Eye Candy 5 Textures - Brick Wall.
Under settings choose Tile and Grout - Small.
Under Basic use the settings shown below. Change the colour to a colour from your tube.
If you don't have Eye Candy 5 copy and paste my Brick wall Pattern as a new layer. Lower the opacity of the Tiles layer to about 68.
Go to Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image and find the EdgeCircleMask.jpg in the drop down box.
Make sure Source Luminence is checked and apply.
Merge group.
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and resize if neccessary.
Add the following Drop Shadow
Vertical: 5
Horizontal: 5
Opacity: 40

Set your Background colour to a medium colour from your tube. I used #C0DAF5.
Set your Foreground to a slightly darker colour. I used #9DC7EF.

Create as Vector: checked - Line width: 1.
Draw out an Elipse for the rug. Use my tag as a guide.

Move this beneath the tube layer and add the following Drop Shadow
