Open a new image 400 X 400 and fill with black.

With your rectangle selection tool (feather 0) select about half your image.

Layers > New raster layer.

Fill the selection with #eb000a.

If all went well you have this now:

Adjust > Add noise/.... > Add noise.

Selections > None.

Open a new image 400 X 400 and fill with #eb000a.

Open one of the two Viva masks from the ZIP.
I made these masks with flower images myself.
Other masks done by me can be found here.

Layers > New mask layer > From image.

Look for the MD-VivaMask.jpg of your choice and apply.

Layers > Merge > Merge group.

Layers > Duplicate.

Layers > Merge > Merge visible.

Copy the flowers and go back to your Viva Tag.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.
No need to move the flowers.
They are in the right spot.

Layers > Merge > Merge flatten.

Image > Add borders > 75 Pixels Right > Color black.
To do  this you have to uncheck "Symmetric".

Open the MD-VivaHearts.psp and copy.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Move the hearts to the top of the red part.

Layers > Duplicate.

Image > Flip.

Open the MD-VivaWoman-2.psp or MD-VivaWoman-1.psp.
All woman are

The one is more sexy as the other. Make your choice.
Copy the woman and go back to your tag.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Move the woman on the red part.

Effects > 3D-effects > Drop shadow > Black. Same settings.

Layers > Merge > Merge flatten.
PSP 8
+ users can skip the next step.

************* PSP 7 *************

For PSP 7 user there are texts in the ZIP because they
don't have the possibility to make their text go down.
Do you want to make another text, just type and rotate.
You will have something like this:

************* End PSP 7 *************

Foreground locked and background to #eb000a.

Text tool .
Use the Arial font (that is a standard Windows Font).
Put your settings like this: Vector > Direction down > Size 48 >
Stroke 0.0 > B for Bold > Align center > Kerning - 200.
Can't find Kerning?.... Click on the black arrows (blue hands).

You may have to change the font size if you want to use
another text. You can also type the size in the box to make it fit.

Turn on the Caps Lock (Capitals) key.
Type your text.
I used "ESPANA".

Layers > Convert to raster.

Move the text on the right black part:

Effects > Plugins > Eye Candy 3.1 > Glass > Color white.

Again click with the text tool in your image.
Change the font size to 36 and type the word VIVA.
Again............, all in capitals.

Layers > Convert to raster.

Repeat the Eye Candy Glass effect.

With move the text as on the screenshot below.

Open the MD-VivaHearts-2.psp.
The two hearts are on a separate layer.
Click the one you need and copy it.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Move the hearts on a nice spot to decorate your Tag.
Do this as you like best.
I have reduced some hearts with 75% in size.
Don't forget to sharpen after resizing.

If you place a heart on the red, repeat the drop shadow.

If you are satisfied with your result:
Layers > Merge > Merge all layers flatten.

Image > Add borders > 2 Pixels > Symmetric > Color #eb000a.

Image > Add borders > 2 Pixels > Symmetric > Color black.

Image > Add borders > 2 Pixels > Symmetric > Color #eb000a.
