 Open a new image in PSP..size 600 x 500
(we will crop it later.)
Add the Ring Box tube set to approx. 65
and name the layer RingBox.
 
*Optional...you can now add a new layer, and add any gold accent tube that you have in your tubes folder to the top of the Ring Box lid. Go over to your Layers Palette and click on "Normal", then change that to "Luminance."
 
 
 
Next, duplicate that layer, and move it down to the bottom of the ring box.  Go to Layers/Merge/Merge Visible, and rename that layer RingBox.
 
  Add a new layer, and name it Name1.
Use these colors for stroke:#FFFFFF and fill:#FFFFFF. Click on Text, find the Font: CoventryGarden Bold, and type in your name...set it at "Bold."  (Make the first letter size #100 and the rest of the letters #72.) Or, if your name is rather long, you can use size #100 for the first letter and #72 for the rest of the letters.)
*Or, a size that you prefer.
While selected, go to Effects/Plug Ins/SuperBlade Pro,
find the preset
D_gold glass> apply> and click OK.
Deselect. 
(Move your name around until it appears to be in
the center of the Ring Box.)
Add a new layer, name it Name2, using the same colors
as the first layer. While selected, got to Effects/Plug Ins/SuperBlade Pro, and use the preset
I-M-silver-ripples. Apply, click OK and deselect.
Go to File/Save As, and save the Name2 layer in
PSP format, then X that layer out.
 
 
Activate the RingBox layer (by clicking on it, then go to Layers/Merge/Merge Visible.)
 
*Optional: you can add a layer, send it to the bottom, flood fill it with white, and then click on your Name2 layer adding a nice drop shadow before merging and then saving.
 
Now go to File/Save As, and save it as RingBox
in PSP format.
