Thank you for putting a link to this tutorial, whenever you display your realization of that tag on a website, on a group or in a mail !

You'll find some versions of that tag in my gallery HERE.

To realize that tag, you'll need the plugins Graphic plus, AP01 ici , Alien skin Eye Candy 5 / Impact, Mura's seamless
and the material zip here
**************
*It is forbidden to suppress watermarks on the material provided , to alter, mist or rename the tubes in order to respect the work of the tubers
- The tube of the bird is an element of scrap by Taggers scraps
- The mask I've used is by HJR
- The background is by Beba Graphicx
- One of the brushes I've used and enclosed in the zip is by Ales1984
The other elements have been found on the net
