I used Jasc PSP9
All my tutorials are only a guideline, something to inspire your own creativity.
I'd love to see what you create, and would be happy to add it to my Tag Gallery. If you wish, send it to willowhoop@gmail.com.
Tip - I always find it very useful to name your layers as you go!
and remember to save often.
On with the show:
If you choose to use my template, open it, press shift D to duplicate and close the original.
Depending on the tube you chose you can rotate the template to be sideways if you prefer.
I chose a funky textured paper made by Tonya, I used papers 3 & 6.
Highlight your oval back, selections, select all, float & defloat.
Add a new layer. Copy & paste your paper. If you wish to add a second paper : Add a new layer, copy & paste that second paper. Play with the blend modes.
Make sure these two paper layers are below your overlay layer. You don't have to use the overlay layer, it is only a fine texture which I thought added to the effects of the paper.
Re-color the inner oval ring, the inner circle ring and the halftone to your liking. Fiona has a great tut on how to use the Manual Color Correction tool here: JustFi Tutorials scroll down the page, its the final tut there.

If you don't wish to animate this tag, you don't need to continue. Add your tube, some elements, &/or some wordart. Add some drop shadows.
Resize your tag BEFORE you add your copyright info. Delete your white bg layer, Save as png.
If you wish to animate please read on:
Grab your magic wand - highlight the inner circle ring layer, click inside this circle ring
Go to selections, modify, expand by 1.
Now highlight your oval fill layer and right click and 'promote selection to layer'.
Do not deselect.
Duplicate this layer 3 times for a total of 4 layers.
Rename these layers 1, 2, 3, 4, with one being the top layer. Close off the bottom three layers leaving layer 1 open.
On layer 1: Go to Effects, DSB Flux, SpiderWeb with these settings. Depending on the paper you used, you may have to fiddle with these settings:

Close layer 1, open & highlight layer 2: DSB Flux, Spiderweb change the rays to 8 but leave the other two settings the same.
Close layer 2, open & highlight layer 3: Change rays to 9.
Close layer 3, open & highlight layer 4: Change rays to 10.
With layers 2 thru to 4 closed. Re-open layer 1. I played with my blend modes here. If you are happy leave things as they are. If you wish to add a blend mode, make sure you do so to each of the spiderweb layers.
Click on your top layer. Select none.
Add a drop shadow to your tube and your oval back layer.
Add some word art, &/or decorate as you wish. Add drop shadows.
Remember to resize your tag BEFORE you add your copyright info.
