~Lets get started~
Open a 600x600 transparent canvas.
Open up Skull scalloped Frame Green_SAV. Scale to about 86.64% Position in center of canvas.
Open up Skull _Filmstrip Red_SAV. Scale to about 74.66% ...... Rotate to about -36.70 degrees. Position to the upper left of the frame.
Open Sparkle Paper_Green_SAV. Position behind skull frame. Scale so it just covers the inside circle of the frame.
Get your magic wand tool and select inside the skull frame.
SELECT >> MODIFY >> EXPAND by 2
SELECT >> MODIFY >> EXPAND by 2
CTRL + SHIFT + I (letter eye)
Be sure you have the paper layer highlighted and under the skull frame layer and do CTRL + X
Open up Sparkle Paper_Red_SAV. Scale so it just fits over the filmstrip.
Get your magic wand tool and click inside one of the squares of the film strip. Hold down the shift key and click in all the remaining squares.
SELECT >> MODIFY >> EXPAND by 2
CTRL + SHIFT + I (letter eye)
Be sure you have the red paper layer highlighted and below the filmstrip and do CTRL + X
you should now have something like this...
Open Drumset Red_SAV element. Scale to about 78.49% Position to the left bottom, on top of both frames.
Open Foil Green Tree_SAV element. Scale to about 74.99% Position behind drum set.
Open Music Notes_SAV element. Do not scale just position behind green tree.
Open Music Notes3_SAV element. Do not scale just position on top of filmstrip frame. Be sure it is under the green tree layer.

Open up Silver Bells(green)_SAV element. Scale to about 19.07%. Position to the bottom left of the filmstrip.
Open Christmas Lights_SAV element. Move this layer under the filmstrips paper layer. Position so that only the right side has lights and erase everything that goes over it. (this is optional in case you use a different tube than I have. If you use the same tube you can't see the lights so you may skip this step)
You should now have something that looks like this...
Open up Floral Swirl_SAV element. Do not resize just position under the circle green paper.
Open up Record5_SAV element. Do not resize just position on top of floral swirl to the bottom right but under the green paper.

Open tube and scale to about 88.83% Position to the right.
Use your magic wand tool and click inside the skull frame.
CTRL + SHIFT + I (letter eye)
Highlight your tube layer and erase the bottom part of it so it looks like the tube is inside the skull frame at the bottom.
SELECT >>> DESELECT
Now move this tube layer under the drum set layer. Move your red bells layer if you need to so that it isn't on top of her hair.
Duplicate this tube. FILTER >> BLUR >> GAUSSIAN BLUR set at 2.0
Change your layer style on the duplicated layer to Soft Light.
You should now have something like this...
Open close up of the tube and position on top of the green circle paper layer but under the skull frame layer.
Move the tube so her eyes are just peeking over the filmstrip.
Get your magic wand tool and click inside the skull frame.
SELECT >> MODIFY >> EXPAND by 2
CTRL + SHIFT + I (letter eye)
Be sure your close up tube layer is highlighted and do CTRL + X
Duplicate the close up tube layer and do
FILTER >> BLUR>> GAUSSIAN BLUR set at 2
Change the layer style of the duplicated close up tube layer to Soft Light. Change the original close up tube layer style to Luminosity.
Use whatever parts of the tube you would like and fill in the filmstrip layer just as we did with the skull frame by using your magic wand tool ect. Change the layer style to Luminosity on each one.
