Open the template, link the layers together, and move on to the canvas.
Delete the word art layers and credits.
Resize the template if you like.
On layer 1, place paper05, flip it horizontally, and create a clipping mask.

Select the pixels of layer 3 and fill with #93a53a. Add a drop shadow.
Fill layers 4 & 6 with paper 10. Resize and create a clipping mask on both layers.
Select the pixels of layer 4 and expand by 4. Make a new layer underneath the 4th layer and fill with #93a53a. Add noise and a drop shadow. Repeat the steps for layer 6.
For layer 5, place paper 1 over it and create a clipping mask. Resize as needed and add a drop shadow to the layer.
Add the same paper to layer 7. Add a drop shadow to the layer (may be covered up later).

That should be it for the template. Now let's open the tube. Place the full size tube in front of the template, in the middle. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Take the close up of the tube and place in over layer 1 and create a clipping mask. Have one copy of the close up to the left of the tube and then a larger copy on the right side, flipped horizontally.
Erase where they may overlap.
Behind the green circle, place swirl1. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Place a copy of bloody on top of the green circle and purple paper (behind the main squares) on the left side and right side. Erase anything off the template.
Place the skullncandle on the left side. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Behind the skullncandle, place the bracelet toward the left. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Place the brainicecreamcone behind the skullncandle toward the right. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Between the candle and cone, place lipstick1. Resize and add a drop shadow.
To the left of the candle and bracelet, place two of the flower2. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Next to the cone and candle, place the bonecake. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Behind the bonecake, place lips1. Resize and add a drop shadow. Make sure the lips are behind the tube as well.
Between the lips and bonecake, place the bloodyeye2. Place it behind the tube at her feet. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Next to the eye, place perfume1. Resize and add a drop shadow. Again, make sure it's behind the tube.
Place the cat in front of the perfume. Resize and add a drop shadow.

Move needle02 behind the cat. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Behind the needle, place the halloween pumpkins on the right side. Resize and add a drop shadow.
Take the flowers from earlier, duplicate them, flip them horizontally, and place them between the skull03 and pumpkins.
Duplicate the flowers again and place them to the left of the pumpkins. Add another copy of the flowers over the frame behind the tube also.

On top of the ribbon, place bow1. Resize and add a drop shadow.
