Template of Choice .. I have used New Year Template #8 by Addictive Pleasures which can be downloaded here.

Let's get started

Open your template in PSP & delete credits, mask & half circle 2layers. Resize canvas size 650x650 & floodfill background layer white.

New raster layer just above your background layer. Select all, copy and paste into selection Paper 12. Select none. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask366, invert transparency unchecked. Merge group and resize 115%.

Layer duplicate & rotate right 15. Merge down both mask layers. Layer duplicate and again merge down both mask layers.

Select Rectangle layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 2, selections invert and hit delete. Do not deselect. Selections invert, selections/modify/expand 5, copy and paste as new layer Paper 12, selections invert, hit delete and select none. Drag this layer beneath your first rectangle layer and drop shadow. I have used 2/2/40/4 throughout. Delete original Rectangle layer from your template.

Repeat for Rectangle 2 layer.

Select Strip layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 12, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Strip layer. Add drop shadow.

Select Glitter circle layer. Adjust color balance/manual color correction from color #c0c0c0 to color #003e00. Add drop shadow.

Select Circle layer. Adjust color balance/manual color correction from color #6b6b6b to color #967c44.

Select Half Circle layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 6, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Half Circle layer.

Layer duplicate & flip. Position towards the bottom of your full circle. See my tag for placement.

Copy and paste Element 47, resize 75% & drop shadow. Centre above your circle layers.

Copy and paste Element 28, resize 40% & drop shadow. Position top right hand corner. Layer duplicate/mirror.

Copy and paste your tube & drop shadow.

Copy and paste Element 42 & drop shadow. Position to the left of your tube. Layer duplicate and rotate right 90. Position along the bottom. Repeat with Element 40.

Copy and paste Element 14, resize 40% & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner.

Copy and paste Element 3, resize 30% & drop shadow. Position bottom right hand corner.

Select Glitter Text layer. Adjust color balance/manual color correction from color #c0c0c0 to color #967c44. Add drop shadow.

Select Text layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste Paper 7, selections invert and hit delete. Select none and delete original Text layer.

X out white background, merge visible. Open white background, resize to your liking (I have used 500x500).

Add copyright. Using Waterbrush Rob, Size 48, color #a18d4e, type out your name. Centre on your word art and rotate slightly. I then added a noise effect .. adjust/add remove noise/uniform mono checked/35% and then added a size 3 fat color #003600 gradient glow, repeated the gradient glow and then drop shadow.
 
Save and you are done.
