Let's get started !

Duplicate twice and rename layers Mask 1, Mask 2 & Mask 3. On your first mask layer apply the following Constellation :

Apply the same Constellation to your next mask layer and hit random once. Apply again to your last mask layer hitting random twice. If you decide not to animate your tag, then just skip the duplicate twice.

Copy and paste Frame-square4, resize 65%, rotate left 10 & position top left hand corner. Layer duplicate and mirror. Position bottom right corner.

Using your magic wand, select the center portion of both your frames (don't forget the lil bits), selections modify/expand 3. If you find it easier, use your freehand selection tool and draw around the areas of both frames. Copy and paste Paper 8 below your frame layer,  selections invert and hit delete. Select none.  Drop shadow your frames. I used 2/2/40/4 throughout. 

Copy and paste Tree 5, resize 40% and drop shadow. Position top left frame. Layer duplicate & move to bottom right frame. Copy and paste Tree 3, resize 30% and drop shadow. Position top left frame next to your other tree. Layer duplicate & move to the bottom right frame next to your other tree there.

If you are choosing not to animate, then you can save your tag.

To animate, close off Mask Layer 2 & 3 (the lil eye icon in your layer palette), Edit/Copy Merged and paste as new animation in Animation Shop. Close off Mask Layer 1 and open Mask Layer 2, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS. Close off Mask Layer 2 and open Mask Layer 3, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS.
