Find an image that is surrounded by a white background.
Take it to Image Magic.

2. Resize to half size and transload/save.
3. Go back to IM to original size image gray.
4. F/X swirl at 60000000. Or whatever swirl number looks best for your image. You should have a black swirl in the middle of the surrounding white.
4. Comp small image you saved "Over" rotate -40.-40, or whatever rotation you choose, center. I used -40-40 for mine.
5. Decorate: border: 5x5-8x8 silver, or whatever size you choose.
repeat with black (same as silver). Repeat with silver again. Then do a frame black 15x15+5+5, or whatever size you choose.
6. (Optional) Find a dingbat or a tiny image you like and annotate/composite left bottom next to swirl. rotate: -40-40, or whatever rotation number you chose above.
Find a silver or white line or bar. rotate same bar transform rotate right. Save both.
Go back and composite non rotated bar North -0-1 rotate -40-40, or same rotation you chose above. Leave coordinates in box and do same South.
Now change the -40-40 rotate to -0-0 and follow steps above north and south again.
Now take your rotated right line/bar and do this.
Composite NorthWest -1-0, And NorthEast -1-0.
Here is an example of following this tute using a colored image. Same steps, Just don*t do the gray steps. I used one of the silver bars below on this one.
It is best to find your line and ding or tiny image, "before" starting this tute.
