Okay let's give it a go shall we?

Use your lasso tool to select just the water in your background. Selections, Load Save Selection, Save selection to disk. Just name it something you can remember. Deselect. (If you want to do the animation work now you can but I get everything in place first)

C/P Moon.Resize by 40%. I used manual color correction to change the moon to a white shade. Position over the moon on your background. (If you like the size of the moon just skip this step but I wanted my moon a big larger.)

C/P Vine. Use your deform tool to stretch the vine horizontally to it covers the edge of your swag elements.
C/P Leaves. Resize by 50%. Duplicate 2 times for a total of 3. Position along the top of your tag.

C/P Tube. (I resized my by 65% but as you know it does depend on your tube)

Add dropshadow. I used -2,2,38,5

If you don't wanna animate Skip to the last few steps for the text effects I used.

And for the animation...
Select your background layer. Duplicate 4 times for a total of 5. Selections your bottom layer. 

Selections, Load Selections we made earlier.

Apply Pool Shadow with these settings...DO NOT SELECT!!

Click on your next background layer and repeat only change BOTH diagonal settings to 50. KEEP SELECTED!!

Click on your next background layer (this should be the middle one)and repeat only change BOTH diagonal settings to 60. KEEP SELECTED!!

Click on your next background layer and repeat only change BOTH diagonal settings to 70. KEEP SELECTED!!

Click on your next background layer (this should be the top layer)and repeat only change BOTH diagonal settings to 80. Deselect.

Close the top 4 layers and copy merged. Paste into animation shop.

Now close the bottom layer and open layer 2. Copy Merged and pasted AFTER current frame.

Now close the 2nd layer and open layer 3. Copy Merged and pasted AFTER current frame.

Now close the 3rd layer and open layer 4. Copy Merged and pasted AFTER current frame.

Now close the 4th layer and open layer 5. Copy Merged and pasted AFTER current frame.

Edit, Select All. Then go to Animation, Frame properties and change to 20.

Add the same drop shadow as before. I changed the opacity on my name to about 80 but depending on your color you don't have to.

Edit Copy (do NOT copy merged you only want to copy your name layer)

Back in Animation shop paste as a new layer. Be sure Propagate paste is selected. Drag your name to the FIRST frame of your taggie (If you add it to any other frame it will blink)
