This tutorial was written on August 24th 2009 by Donna Mae AKA Sapphire Love. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.
Supplies:
Template by Designs by Ali
Spooky Hallow(Tagger) by Gemini Creationz
Open your new document, 510 x 532.
Open up your template.
Make sure all layers are invisible except for the large circle.
Open GCZ_SH_paper13, go to edit > define pattern > okay.
Go back to your template, right click the large circle layer, blending options > pattern overlay > the pattern you just defined > Okay.
Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge.
Make sure all layers are invisible except for your several dots, right click the layer > blending options > color overlay > color #f47118, click okay. Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge. Go up to filter > noise > set the noise amount to 10.
Open GCZ_SH_paper03, go to edit > define pattern > okay.
Make sure all layers are invisible except for your top left square, right click the layer > pattern overlay > the pattern you just defined > okay.
Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge.
Now repeat with the other square.
Make sure all layers are insivible except for your square frames, right click layer > blending options > Bevel & Emboss, leave it as your normal settings, press okay. Press shift + control + n and a new layer should pop up, press shift + control + e and those layers should merge.
Right click your text layer, go up to your Eye Candy Impact: Gradient Glow, set your color to #f47118 and the "Glow Radius" to 0.07.
Go to your Witch layer, Eye Candy Impact: Gradient Glow, set your color to #fffbc0 and set your "Glow Radius" to 0.07.
Now paste your template into your new document, time to get busy putting your tag together now that we've covered the basics. :D
open GCS_SH_Cat, re-size by 40%, paste into your document behind your frame.
Open GCZ_SH_Jack, re-size by 30%, paste into yourdocument, there will be some sticking out, but just erase that.
Actually, You know what, just delete that floating which layer. We're gonna use one from the kit.
Open GCZ_SH_Broomwitch, re-size by 40, add your drop shadow, opacity 30% > distance 3 > size 3.
Right click the layer, hit "duplciate layer", another layer should pop up, press control + t, hit the up arrow ONCE.
Right click the new layer, duplicate layer, press control + t, hit the up arrow ONCE.
Now repeat ONCE more.
Time for the animation - Animate it like you normally would, one layer, for one frame, once you get to the last layer, hit duplicate frame, and go back down the layers til you get back to the very first one, set your time delay to 0.01, and your witch should be floating!
Add your name, tag it, and voila, you are done.
Hope you enjoyed my Tutorial!

Tube by No Flutter. She's a FTU artist, just give her the proper copyright credit!
Open your new document, 500 x 500.
Open GCZ_frame02, re-size by 70%, paste into your new document. Add your drop shadow, opacity 30% > distance 3 > size 3.
Open your tube, re-size her by 60%, paste into your document, erase the bottom part of her so it looks like she's tucked behind the frame.
Add your drop shadow, opacity 30% > distance 3 > size 3.
Open the paper supplied, use your elliptical marquee tool, select a section of it, paste it into your document, behind your frame.
Open GCZ_ghost01, re-size him by 30%, paste him into your document, right click the layer, duplicate, press control + t, and a square should pop up around him, press your up arrow once. Then hit enter, right click again, duplicate, press control + t, hit your up arrow once more.
Animate it, until you get to the last frame, (remember to set the time delay to 0.1 seconds), then hit copy frame, and go do it reverse, your ghost should be going up and down. :)
Open GCZ_ghost02, re-size her by 30%, paste her into your document. Right click her layer, duplicate, press control + t, hit your down arrow once, press enter. Duplicate the layer again, press control + t, and hit the down arrow again, now do the same animation you just did.
Open GCZ_glittersplat, re-size by 60%, paste into your document, behind your frame an everything(put it in your bottom right corner), right click, duplicate layer. Flip it horizontal, and then vertical, and move it to your top left corner, duplicate the layer again, flip it horizontal.Go back to the orginal layer, right click, duplicate, flip horizontal.
Use your Ellipise tool, shape around your frame, take your text tool, and put it on the line around it, until you have a squiggly mark across the "I" icon, then type "Corrupted Beauty" around it in whatever font/color you want. I'm using a font called "Garamond Premier Pro" and the color is #000000. If you have to, move your text layer behind Zombie Tink :)
Go up to your Gradient Glow, set the color to #bfc12a.
Add your name, tag it, & you're done. :D Hope you enjoyed my tutorial!!
