For this tag, it is really just copy and pasting the elements where you want them. I always
start at the bottom and work my way up mostly. also if something just isn't the right size,
you can resize how you see fit, mine is only an example, so be creative!
paste paper 20, paste the frame above paper layer. Click inside the frame with your magic
wand tool, selections, modify, expand by 5, selections, invert. On the paper layer hit
delete on your keyboard.
Copy and paste paper 9, copy and paste window. Click inside each square in the window, selections
modify, expand by 4, selections, invert. On the paper layer click delete on the keyboard.
Copy and paste the larger moon and stars. Erase anything hanging over the edge of the frame.

Copy and paste the mittens. copy and paste paper 11, copy and paste smaller frame, adjust
above paper 11. As before, click in the frame, selections, modify by 4, selections, invert,
on the paper layer, hit delete on your keyboard. Don't forget to be adding your dropshadow to
your elements as you go. Duplicate paper and frame, For both the paper and the frame, image,
free rotate, to the right 90%. copy and paste the moon and cow as shown in the example and
arrange in the horizontal frame. copy and paste the bear and rocking chair. Move them into
the frame that is verticle.
Now at this point I just started adding elements to make it look like the book Goodnight Moon.
Once you have it the way you want it, You can do the following steps or just add your name and be done.
With the dropper tool, pick up the dark yellow color from the moon and with the font
Childrenplay type out GoodNight Moon.

Click ok. Add your dropshadow. Using your dropper tool again pick up the teal color.

GoodNight Moon
By: Margaret Wise Brown

In the great green room
There was a telephone
And a red balloon
And a picture of --
The cow jumping over the moon
And there were three little bears sitting on chairs
And two little kittens And a pair of Mittens
And a little toyhouse And a young mouse
And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush
And a quiet old lady who was wispering "hush"
Goodnight room Goodnight moon
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon
Goodnight light and the red balloon
Goodnight bears Goodnight chairs
Goodnight kittens and goodnight mittens
Goodnight clocks and goodnight socks
Goodnight littel house and goodnight mouse
Goodnight comb and goodnight brush
Goodnight nobody Goodnight mush
And goodnight to the old lady whispering "hush"
Goodnight stars Goodnight air
Goodnight noises everywhere.

I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and the story at the end...Now Goodnight!

(if using the same tube as I am then resize it by 80% and follow the next steps.)
Erase the parts of the tube that overlap the bottom diamond. To erase the tube, I select
the diamond, selections, select all, float, defloat and then erase any part of the tube
I don't want to show. Follow the same directions on the word art so the tube doesn't cover
the a in the word party. See example.
Now all that is left is to add your name and copy right info. For the name... effects,
plugins, eyecandy 4000, glass on these settings...
Click on the settins in the "glass" box and click on glass tube, on the basics tab...
Bevel Width 31.70
Smoothness 100
Inside Marquee checked
Edge Darkening 25
Gradient shading 0
Refraction 50
Opacity 80
Tinting 5
Click ok, click on adjust, add noise on these settings...

Noise 36
Monochrome checked.
Effects, plugins, eyecandy 4000, gradient glow on these settings...
Glow width: 5
Soft Corners: 25
Overall opacity: 100
Draw only outside selection: checked
Click on color and make the first slider black and make the second slider white. Add your
drop shadow.
Now crop and resize your siggy. I always resize mine to 500.
Add your copyright info and license number if using a PTU tube. I always add a gradient
glow to the copyright info that way it can be used on any color of background and the copyright
will still show up.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial! Remember tutorials are just guidelines, make it your own and
have fun with it! I would love to see what you made! So either leave me a link where I can see
it or send me an email with it! I have a slide show and would love to show it off!
