DESCRIPTION: Make an easy and stylish Sig Tag for the Holidays with PI and 3rd party filters.

 

Remember to save often!

 

Open a New Image: Canvas color: White and Size: 500x500 Pixels. 
Effect/Graphic Plus (red arrow)/Peacock (white arrow) and use these settings (1):
239/225/202/0/38/0/0/255.
Your screenshot might look different, since I'm using Filters Unlimited 2 - but the settings are the same anyway.
Click Apply.

Open your 1.tube (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the tube, activate the main picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it.
Choose the Pick Tool (white hand), and change the Transparency of the tube to 60 (red arrow).
Keep the tube activated, right click/Properties/Position & Size (3)/Position, and use these settings:
Left: 27 and Top: 97 (white arrows).
Click OK and Merge All.



Check the background color (white hand), before you open the filter, because this color will be the one the filter is using. 
Effect/Filter Attacks and find the filter
(red arrow) with the name Border: Zuckerguß. Find some settings you like - this filter doesn't have the possibility to give exact settings, so you just have to try for yourself.


Open the 2.tube (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the tube, activate the main picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it. 
Right click/Properties/Position & Size (3)/and go to Size.
Check that you have ticked the box Keep aspect ratio (red arrow) and change the Height to 360 (white hand). 
Now we can change the position of the tube:
Left: 244 and Top: 145 (white arrows).
Click OK and keep the tube activated.

Right click the tube/Shadow and use these settings: 
Black + 4.altern (red arrow) + 2/2/70/100/10.
Click OK and deselect the tube.

Add a name as you wish, Merge All and your sig tag is finished! 
 

 

 

Here's the result in the original size :))

 

 

 

That's it! A stylish, but very easy (and quick) Sig Tag ... made with PI and 3rd party filters. 

HAVE FUN!!!
