Okay let's do this...

Open a new image size 600 by 600

C/P Barb Wire Frame (Element 55). Resize by 75%.

Use your magic wand tool to select inside the frame. (Don't forget the small bits). Selection, Modify, Expand by 5.

Add a new raster layer. C/P Paper 9 into selection.

Save your selection (Selections, Load Save Selection) under a name you can find again. Deselect.

C/P your tube layer. Add drop shadow. 

Position your words so that your can still read them.

Duplicate your frame layer. Move above your tube. Use your eraser tool to remove all the access frame. (Basically you just want enough to cover the bottom of the tube.)

Position the remaining flames along the left side of your frame under the tube.
