Here goes: 

Start a new image 700 X 700 - Transparent.

Element 22 - C/P and resize 85%

Element 24 - C/P and resize 70% - Mirror and move to the right.

Element 25 - C/P and resize 25% - Move to upper right corner.

Element 5 - C/P and resize 50 % - Move to left (see tag for placement).

If you want to make the tag like mine, this is what I did.

I used the "image" layer that came with my tube.  I C/P the image and moved this behind the previous layer.  I then resized the image 60% and had the face show in the window.  I used the FREEHAND SELECTION tool and created a selection around the window of element 5.  Then I highlighted the "image" layer and went to SELECTIONS - INVERT and hit my delete button.  I then merged element 5 to my image layer.

Frame3 - Resize 70% and move under leave, but above wire layer.  Grab your magic wand and click inside of frame.

SELECTIONS - MODIFY - EXPAND - 8

Paper 1 - C/Paste into selection.  SELECTIONS - SELECT NONE.

Element 7 - C/P and resize 70% - move to middle of frame and under frame layer.

Change the blend mode of this layer to OVERLAY and change the OPACITY to 57

Highlight frame layer.

Element 14 - C/P and resize 50% - Move down to bottom, middle of frame.

Element 19 - C/P and resize 50% - Move to the bottom right of tag.

Element 11 - C/P and resize 30% - Move to bottom right of tag.

Element 1 - C/P and resize 25% - Move above tower.  Duplicate and move the copy layer under tower layer.  Toggle these two layers.  Click on ERASER TOOL.  I used these settings:

Open tube.  C/P and mirror.  Move her so she seems to be sitting on Element 14.

Add drop shadow to all layers of your choice.  I use:

I used

V & H 2

Opacity 70

Blur 7

Color Black

Now, the mask layer.

Highlight very bottom layer.

Open Paper3

SELECTIONS - SELECT ALL - NEW RASTER LAYER - C/PASTE INTO SELECTION Paper3 - SELECTION NONE

LAYERS - NEW MASK LAYER - FROM IMAGE - SOURCE LUMINANCE CHECKED - WSL59 - OK - MERGE GROUP

IMAGE - RESIZE - 105%

(if mask is not dark enough for you, you can duplicate it and then merge down)

 Now you can add name and  © information.  Save as .PNG and resize if you wish.

I resize before I save and add name and © info.
