We'll be playing with Text Effects & Blending Options.
Let's have some fun!

Move this a little bit toward the top of your canvas.
Open sb_frame 3.

Grab an eraser.
Erase along the outside edge of both frames.
I also erased between the rectangles of frame 2.

Hit the Delete key on your keyboard.
Go back to Select.

With your close up tube layer still highlighted,
Right Click.
Click on Blending Options in the pop up window.
Use these settings below.
Click OK.
Now we're going to play with the elements.
These next layers will go behind your tube
and on top of frame 3.
sb_sand
(I grabbed a soft edged eraser
and erased around the hard lines of the sand
to give it a softer look.)
sb_ swirl 2
sb_netting
(I rotated netting 90 degrees ClockWise.)
These next elements I resized at 15%.
sb_shell 2
sb_starfish
sb_clam
sb_coconut

so it looks like she's holding it in her hand.)
These were resized to 25%:

sb_pineapple
sb_fruitbowl
On top of frame 2, beneath my tube
I placed these elements:
sb_palm fronds 1 & 2
I resized fronds to 50%.

I rotated swirl 4:
90 degrees CounterClockwise
and resized to 50%.
Then I duplicated this layer.
I flipped it horizontally
and resized this layer to 50%.
This was placed in the upper left corner.

sb_flower 1:
I resized flower 1 to 30%
Then I duplicated it
and flipped it horizontally.
Open sb-wave.
Center at bottom of canvas.
Reduce size to 50%.
Place a drop shadow on all your layers
except for pp12 and your close up tube.
Make a new layer.
Type your name in the font of your choice.
I used the eyedropper tool to choose a color from the tag.
With your name layer highlighted
Go to your toolbar.

Click Ok.
Go back to your toolbar and select Layer again.

MOST IMPORTANT!!
You must now do this:
Put the artist's name, website, and your license number
of the tube you used on the siggy!!
Add your name (ie: Designed by Your Name) behind this info.
Make sure this info is legible and clearly seen.
Save as PSD to maintain layers.
Then save as PNG, remembering to use a number behind your sig title.
YOU'RE DONE!!
I hope you had fun with this tut!
