If you can't find a tube as large as mine, you can make your own, using an image of your choice, as explained below :

Layers / Merge group. That layer with your new tube is now ready for use on step 4 of the tutorial as it is as the right size .
Copy that tube and paste it as a new image, Rename it "My tube" and save it as a Psp image, to be on the safe side !
( We'll use that new tube later on !)
**********************
Let's all go ahead with the tutorial now !
4- Effects / Image effects / Seamless tiling default, as below :

Once merged, the gaps in the tag will show in white, if you don't like those white parts, you may cancel the merge step, add a new layer, move it down and flood fill it with a colour of your choice and merge all again !!
6- Adjust / Blur / Gaussian blur / 20
7- Effects / Plugins / Simple / Diamonds.
8- Effects / Edge effects / Enhance more.
9- Optionnal : You may add a slight texture effect or plugin effect on that background if you wish but it mustn't show too much !! I have left mine as it is !
Step 2 : The inside diamond shape frame
1- Activate your free hand selection tool, set as below and select the diamond shape line that you can see in the middle of your tag as shown below :
If it is difficult for you to select that shape, you may use my selection :
"fairymist_marilyn2.PspSelection".
