new layer. I moved below the jewel layer and to the left a bit.  I chose to erase some of the

stray part of the reather that was down toward the bottom of the tag.

Now for the border.  Choose a color from the tag (I chose a color from the peacock

feather), Layers, New raster layer, and flood fill with your color of choice.

Selections, Select all.  Image, Crop to selection and that will take care of everything 

you can't see hanging off the sides of your tag!  Selections, Select all.  Selections, Modify

Contract 3 and hit ok.  Selections, Select None.  Now you can leave like that or you can

do what I do.  Adjust Blur Gaussian Blur of 3 and hit ok.  Doesn't look like much but you

have to layers duplicate and then layers merge to get the look you want.

Add copyright and name.  I added a brush layer to the name on mine.

For an Avatar here is what I do. 

I open a New 180x180 raster layer. Go to the top element in the banner tag and click

it to make it active.  With my selection (rectangle) tool make a square. Copy merged and then activate

the avatar and copy and paste as a new layer.  Go to the banner tag. Selections Select None.

Back at the avatar I just line up the bottom left corner. Activate Raster 1, Selections, Select All

then go to your merged layer, Image, Crop to selection.
