1) Open a 600x600 new image.

Go to selections modify expand by 15.

Move under frame but do NOT select none.

3) Copy & paste your tube as new layer.
Arrange so part of it is in the frame.
Press delete.
Now select none.

4) Add a drop shadow of
2,2,50,5 black
to both frame & tube layers.
Open a bow & resize by
50% & 85% one time each.
