have free checked and have 30.00 in the box and check right for the rotations

then ok. Copy and paste and place in bottom left hand corner or where you

wish.

Now open rose 7 or one of your choice. We need to resize it. I resized to 50

pixels and I flipped it. Image>Flip and rotated. Image>Free Rotate to same

setting as above. Rotate right at 30.00. Copy and paste as new layer and place

over the tag hole. Drop Shadow.

tiny boxes around your text to stretch it or turn it.
