Open a new image 400 X 450 > Transparent.
Foreground to gradient.
Look for the "Fore-background" gradient.

Open the MD-GateMask.jpg from the ZIP.
I made this mask myself.
Other masks done by me can be found

Lock your background and select the top layer
(=blue).
With your magic wand
(feather 0 - tolerance 25) select the middle
part.

Unlock the bottom layer and select it (=

Open one of the flower borders from the ZIP.
Select them as they are or select a piece with
your lasso.
Copy the part you want to use.
Take a look at my examples at the
bottom

Move
the decorations where you like it best.

Layers > Merge > Merge all layers flatten.
Instead of using an image to paste in the
selection, you
can skip that step and paste a flower tube in the middle.
If you do that, you have to Buttonize the bottom layer (when
selected) on the gradient layer. See my examples at the bottom.
Your "Gate to Spring Frame" is done.
