The Classic All American Diner! Who could not love it! My own mother was a carhop on skates at a place called Daly's Drive In. Although they discontinued the skates, my husband and I went to one near our home all of the time! Brings back so many good memories! Happy Days!

Open a 1300 by 1150 blank canvas.
Open Waitress 1b and copy and paste onto canvas. Do NOT move.
Open and Paste Waitress 1a onto canvas. Do NOT move.
Open and Paste Waitress 1 onto canvas. Do NOT move.
Each of the waitress tubes should have pasted directly over the others. Close out 1a and 1b until needed.
Open Diner Insert. Use your color dropper to choose one of the darker colors from the image as your FOREGROUND color. Make your background color white.
Choose your preset ellipse tool, with line width set to 15 draw out an oval on the bottom layer beneath your waitress tubes. Select magic wand and copy and paste into selection the diner insert.
You will now have this:
Choose your oval diner image and go up to selections/select all/float/defloat/modify/select selection borders/9. Layers/New Raster Layer. Move the new raster layer beneath your Diner back image and flood fill the selection with a complementing pattern. I've given you a few if you would like to use them. I now have this:
Select each waitress one at a time and apply EFFECTS/3DEFFECTS/DROP SHADOW 4 4 OPACITY 40/BLUR 1
After you have applied to each one, reverse, apply drop shadow again with settings - 3 -3 Opacity 30/Blur 1
Open your jukebox and place on the right of the tag and the sundae and coke and place at the left side. (You may place them as your vision suggests as well). Apply same drop shadow to each of the elements. Here is mine:
Images/Resize/AllLayers/55%
Crop Image Leaving a Bit more at the bottom for words.
Mine looks like this:
Layers/Add New Raster Layer/Arrange/Send To Bottom
Flood fill that bottom layer with a color a bit darker than a color in the image.
Load the Mask provided OR you can choose your own. Apply mask to bottom colored layer. This is my result after mask application.
Now if you choose NOT to animate. Select the waitress image you like best and delete the other two. Crop the image for a final time to just around the mask layer. Layers/Merge Visible/Save As and your tag is done. You can also add names and words at the bottom.
