~Lets Get Started~ 

Open 600x600 transparent canvas.

Scale cluster to liking.
Scale glitter frame so that it is just bigger than the cluster frame. move this layer under the cluster frame.

Highlight the cluster layer.
Get your magic wand tool and click inside one of the squares of the frame. Hold your SHIFT key and click in the remaining squares.
SELECT>> MODIFY>> EXPAND by 2 
It should now look something like this.
CTRL + SHIFT + I (letter eye)

The paper that was on the outside of the cluster should now be gone.

Open glitter ribbon and scale to your liking. Position to right of cluster frame.
Move this layer under the pink doddle layer.
Duplicate and horizontal flip it. Move it to the left of the cluster frame. Rotate it to the right just a little bit.
Open the lights element.
Scale to about 55.99% and position to the top of the cluster frame.
Open the ornament pink element.
Scale to about 21.74% and position on top of the candy cane layer to the left a bit.
Do the same with the other pink ornament but you don't need to scale and position this layer under the previous pink ornament layer.

Change the layer style to soft light. Change the original tube layer to Luminosity.
Do the same for the other two squares of the cluster frame except use different parts of the body.
 Open your tube again and scale to about 61.20%. Position semi center of cluster frame.
Duplicate the main tune layer. Add your Gaussian blur at the same setting as we did above.

Add some snow balls to the right of the main tube. I also added the pink scarf snowman.
