Now click on your canvas to open your text box, type out the name you want on your sig then click Apply.
Now position your name center with your Ocean & Sand elements.
Go to your layers pallet - move your Name layer down below your Towel2 & Lily4 layers.
Now leave your name layer alone for a bit. We will come back to it.
Open your medi_lily 8 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40%. Position it so that it is at the right end of your name.

Now click on your top Lei layer -
Activate your Eraser Tool - now erase parts of the Lei so that it appears to be hanging over the letter.
In your Layers pallet - click on your Duplicated Lei layer - apply a drop shadow.
Now add any copyright/credit information.
Most times I apply a gradient glow to my copyright/credit information so that it stands out a bit more. If you would like to do that as well, go to Effects - click Plugins - Eye Candy 5 Impact - Gradient Glow.
You can use my settings below or your own.-
Now you might want to save your tag as a PSP file if you intend on making it for friends/family as well at a later time.

Activate your Magic Wand tool -
Then make sure that you are on your Name layer in your layers pallet.
Now click inside each letter of your name until ALL letters have the "marching ants" around them. Depending on the font that you have used you may not have to click inside each letter. Some script fonts when they connect and you click on letter it will select them all. Also if you have an "i" in your name, make sure you also select the dot above your i. :-)
Once all letters are selected go -
Effects - Plugins - Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass

Then activate your crop tool in your Animation Shop -
Crop off any canvas that you did not use. Once you have your crop outlined, then double click inside of your cropped box. That will make your crop activate.
Now if you need to re-size your sig you can do that now.
(For new to animation shop tut followers - to re-size in Animation Shop - On your keyboard, press your Shift & S keys , that will open your re-size menu. Then set it to pixels then the size you need. I re-sized mine to 650 pixels, but if you need it a different size just type in the size that you need. :-)
