Ready? Lets go!
 
Open a new image in PSP
size 500 x 500 (we will crop it later.)
 
Add a new layer and name it Gold Frame.
Go to your preset shapes...we will be using the
 rectangle, line width 5, stroke color:#FFFFFF
fill color set at null:
 
 
 
Using the preset, draw a rectangle on about
4 squares wide and 5 squares long.
Go to Selections/Select All/Select Float,
then Effects/Plug Ins/Super Blade Pro and
apply the preset D_gold glass.
 While still selected, use the magic wand and 
click inside of the rectangle.
 
 
Now go to, Selections>Modify>
Expand by 2, and click ok.
Keep selected (with marching ants)
and add a new layer. 
Name it Glass and flood fill with white #FFFFFF. 
Next, go to Effects/Plug Ins/Super Blade Pro
and apply the preset I-m_silver-outline 
 
 
Still selected, duplicate that layer,
and then (on your layers palette)
X the duplicated glass out. 
 
 
 
Click back on the glass layer
and add a new layer, naming it Tube. 
Now click on your picture tubes and find
a favorite floral tube. *Scale it down small
so that you can see the tube
in the selected rectangle.
(Click undo and reset the scale until
you are happy with the size of the
tube you are adding) and add another layer
to add another tube.
When finished deselect.
 
Click on the Gold Frame layer on your
Layer Palette and drag it to the top, or go to
 Layers/Arrange/Bring to Top.
Click on the duplicate glass layer now 
(the one we had X'ed out)
to activate the layer
(your tubes have disappeared),
duplicate again and on that layer,
go to Effects/3D/Cutout
and use these settings, and then sharpen.
