Step 1:

Open Monti-Window tube in psp, press Shift D to duplicate and close the original.
Click on the Blinds layer to activate and colourize to match your tube.
If you wish to use a different background for your window, resize it to 230 width by 120 height and paste it as a new layer under the Window Frame layer.
Merge all visible, rename Window and go to Increase Canvas size 500 x 500 pixels and use your mover tool to move it up a bit.
Add the following Drop Shadow

Horizontal: 0

Add a new raster layer, flood fill with white and send to the bottom.
Open the bow you have chosen. Colourize with the same settings you used for your blinds.
Resize as necessary and go to Adjust - Sharpen.
Copy and paste as a new layer onto your canvas and position on the window. See my tag for placement guide.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto your canvas and position on the window. Use your Deform tool to rotate the butterfly slightly. See my tag for placement guide.
Go to Adjust - Sharpen.
Rename that layer Butterfly and add the same Drop Shadow we used on the bows.

I also adjusted the brightness on mine but that is optional.
Copy and paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Rename Balloon. I also mirrored mine but it depends what tube you use.
Use your mover tool to move into postition and move this layer beneath your tube layer.

I used Monti-ButterflyLove-PinkHearts.jpg and Monti-ButterflyLove-PinkDots.jpg.
Colourize with the same settings you used earlier and minimize.
Set your foreground to a dark colour from your tube and your background to pattern. I used Monti-ButterflyLove-PinkDots.jpg - Angle: 0 - Scale: 50.
Select your Preset Shapes - Rectangle with the following settings.
Create as Vector - Checked

Go to Selections - Select All - Float. Selectons - Modify - Contract by 6.
Add a new Raster layer and fill with your foreground colour.
Go to Selections - Modify - Contract by 1 and flood fill with white.
Change your foreground to pattern, I used Monti-ButterflyLove-PinkHearts.jpg - Angle: 0 - Scale: 50.
Add a new Raster layer and fill with the pattern. Lower the Opacity to 46% and Deselect.
Hide all layers apart from the top two we just created and Merge Visible. Rename Nameplate.

Open one of the Heart Flowers from my kit. I used Monti-ButterflyLove-HeartFlower3.png.

Duplicate this layer and move it to the bottom right corner of the Nameplate. On the layer palette right click on the top layer (copy of raster 2) and choose Merge Down.
Right click on the top layer (raster 2) and merge down.
Your layer palette should now look like this:
Move your Nameplate into position on your canvas and then move your tube layer up to the top.
Step 4:
Click on the white background layer to activate it and add a new Raster layer.
Set your foreground to a very light colour from your tube and activate your Airbrush tool with the settings shown below.
Lightly spray some colour on the canvas.
Go to Adjust - Blur - Guassian Blur - Radius 20.
Go to Layers - New Mask Layer from Image. Find the Monti Blinds mask1.jpg that you minimized at the start of the tutorial and apply with the following settings.
Go to Layers - Merge Group and lower the Opacity of the Mask layer to 44.
Hide the white background layer and crop image to size.
With your foreground and backgound set to a dark colour from your tube add your name using a font of your choice.
