What you do now is up to you, you can either do as I did and add a tube to the center of your image and add some writing or you can add another layer and make this your bottom layer (first you will have right click on your other layer and "promote to layer" once you have your new layer at the bottom highlight layer 2 (this is the one that has your image on it) using your magic wand, Tolerance 25 Feather 0 click in the center of the frame and hit the delete key once, you can now insert any image of your choice into this selection or just save it as a frame.... dress it up with some corners and your all done !
I hope you enjoyed this one
