Make shape 1 layer active, Selections-Select All, Selections-Float, Selections-Defloat, Open paper of choice I used paper 29, edit-copy, paste as a new layer onto tag template, Selections-Invert, hit delete, Select None. Delete the original shape 1 layer.

Make shape 1 copy 2 layer active, repeat the above process but this time I used paper 28, once again delete the original shape 1 copy 2 layer. Do the same for shape 1 copy layer, and I used the same paper as before paper 28. Delete shape 1 copy layer.

If you wish you can add another image inside the frames, I did this by making the frame backgrounds active and Selections-Select All, Selections-Float, Selections-Defloat, paste as a new layer, position the tube so that the parts you wish are inside the frame, Selections-Invert, hit delete, Select None.

Make your top layer active and paste your wordart as a new layer, I used wordart#24 by Lisa of Lisa's Creative Clutter Too... and I resized by 80% and applied a dropshadow.
