Gift Box 2 resize 50% then again at 75%
Gift Box 3 resize 40% then again 70
Gift Box 1 resize 30 then again 65% then put them all together to set in top circle
Cake resize 50% set inside bottom circle
Party hat 8 resize 50% make it look like it's setting on her head
Balloon 5,4,2,1 resize all at 50% arrange behind the bottom circle layer.


Now add a drop shadow to all layers



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

I was turned on to this trick by a good friend of my named Kim. You can check her out Click Here See Kim!

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
