Bead place on ellipse layer rotate to the left a little duplicate mirror
Shamrock Chain 50% place on rectangle bear.

*****Optional for your tube******

I was turned on to this trick by a good friend of my named Kim. You can check her out Kim's Korner!

On your tube if you want to make it kinda pop out a little more here is something you can do.

Duplicate your tube layer on the copy layer add a gaussian blur of 2.00 and move it below the original layer. On the original layer blend mode to hard light and change the opacity to 73. Merge the layer down and sharpen!

Crop/resize tag to your preference - add copyright/license & watermark & name ..Save as PNG or JPEG
