Open the frame in your programme
Expand the canvas bigger to the overall frame
Delete the copyright layer
We will resize at the end

Click on the Circle Backround layer, in the papers folder,
open SC_BunniesandChicks_Paper01.jpg and resize
Copy and paste that as a new layer on your frame template
To get rid of the edges, point your mouse to the circle, hold Ctrl and click
Inverse the layer, delete and then deselect

Click on the Circle Fame layer and open
SC_BunniesandChicks_Paper010.jpg
Resize and copy and paste to your canvas frame
Do the same as the above frame and delete the Circle Frame layer
Double click on the top layer use the layer style from the image below:


The rectangle layers is basically done in the same way as circle layers
When it comes to the layer styles, then change the Highlight & Shadow
modes to colours that match your frames
To free rotate any of the rectangle background layers press Ctrl & T
Rectangle bacground and frame 2, angle is 7.5 degrees
Rectangle bacground and frame 3, angle is 15 degrees
The papers that I have used are:
SC_BunniesandChicks_Paper011.jpg (Rectangle 3 & 1 Frames)
SC_BunniesandChicks_Paper02.jpg (Rectangle 3 Backround)
SC_BunniesandChicks_Paper12. jpg (Rectangle 2 Frame)
SC_BunniesandChicks_Paper05.jpg (Rectangle 2 Background)
SC_BunniesandChicks_Paper08.jpg (Rectangle 1 Background)

Now that we have the frame decorated time to add elements
Click in the circle background layer and in the elements folder open SC_BunniesandChicks_bunny03.png
Resize, copy and paste and position
With your Rectangular Marquee Tool, select about half way down,
cut, click on the top layer, and paste
Position so that they line up exactly to the bottom part

Open SC_BunniesandChicks_bunny02.png and resize
Copy and past that as a new layer and position
Check my final tag for the position

Below is the order of the other elements that I've used
Up to you on the size and check my tag for the position
If any of the elements are mirrored the go to Edit >> Transform >> Flip Horizontal
