You will need a tube similar to mine

Open a new transparent canvas 400x 400 and flood fill with a gradient to match your tube. It is best to use a plain gradient with the setting on linear and angle and repeats on 0

Copy and paste the tube as new layer

Effects-reflection effects-feedback. Settings-opacity and intensity 100. Horizontal -21(minus)verical-23(minus) and the elliptical unchecked.

Effects-image effects-seamless tiling-default setting

Layers -merge visible

Repeat the reflection feedback with the same setting as before

Adjust -blur-radial blur-setting as in the screenshot

Copy and paste the tube as a new layer

Effects-reflection effects-rotating mirror-settings-horizontal minus -50-vertical 0-rotation angle 315 and edge mode reflect

Change the blend of this layer to soft light

Copy and paste the tube again and arrange as you wish oh the tag-I wanted mine to look like it was being reflected.

Add a drop shadow to this layer if you like. I used the default setting but changed the horizontal and vertical to 4

layers -merge visible

Resize as you wish--I resized by 85%

If you want to make the tag clearer-adjust-brightness and contrast-clarify by any amount you think is best--I used 4

Add a new layer for your text and a border or frame of your choice. I used the one in PSP- Photo edge 03 then added a border -size 4 to match the tag

That's the tutorial finished.

I hope that you enjoyed doing it
