Duplicate once and mirror. Now find your free hand selection tool,

hidden under your magic wand. Use settings point to point, replace, feather 1.

Type your name above all your layers, and to the right of the Arch layer.

Now add a gradient glow, using Eye Candy 4000

change the basic glow width to 3

and then click on color with these settings:

Add a drop shadow if you prefer.

Now add your copyrights and watermark.

Crop your tag to get rid of any access space. Then resize to your preference.

I resized the entire tag by 85%.
