Lets Begin!!

Open a new canvas – 500x500. Floodfill white.
Open a paper of choice. Resize by 8% and add to canvas as new layer. You may choose to colorize to better suit your tube. Add a drop shadow of choice.
Open your tube. Add as new layer. Resize and sharpen if necessary. Add the same drop shadow. Center it on your paper.
Open your ribbons. Resize by 15%. Move one ribbon beneath the paper layer. Rotate the other 90 degrees and bring it to the bottom. Move it to the left of the paper criss-crossing the two ribbons. See my example for placement.
Open three more papers of choice. Resize them by 6%. Add a drop shadow to each paper. Rotate one 15 degrees left, one 15 degrees right, and the other 7 degrees right. Drop all three paper layers just below your tube layer. Arrange them around your tube. Once again see my example for placement.
Choose 2 gel square embellishments. Resize by 15%. Add drop shadow. Arrange one near the end of each ribbon.
Select a color that compliments your tube or the scrap kit. I used #281a16. With a word art brush of your choice, add it to the center paper. Rotate it to match the angle of the paper and drop it beneath the top paper layer.
Add your name or text of choice at the bottom with a drop shadow. At this point you may add any copyright information or watermarks.

Animation:
Copy merged layers into Animation shop. Duplicate the frames so you have a total of 21 frames.
Open the bling animation. Select all frames. Copy.
Return to your frames. Click on the propogate paste button at the top of A/S. Select all and paste into selection.
