CROP AND RESIZE TAG

~ Step 4 ~

Set the colours in your Materials Palette to the following:
Foreground: #d45883
Background: #FFFFFF

Make sure your foreground is active and your background is hidden

Select your Preset Shape tool and make sure the Anti-alias and Create as Vector are CHECKED
Using the Ellipse shape and holding your shift key with one hand draw out a circle around your frame
Release your mouse and shift keys
Objects / Align / Center in Canvas
(THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON A VECTOR LAYER)

Click the arrows in your Materials Palette to swap the colours around
Unhide the background and hide the foreground

Select your text tool and when you see the A of your text tool curve on the line of the circle click to open the text box and type "Cuddles n' Kisses"

In your Layer Palette click the + to open the Vector layer and delete the Ellipse then convert to Raster Layer
Add a subtle drop shadow of your choice

Finally add your name, ©copyright, licence and watermark and you're done!
