Let's get started
*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*
Open your template, make a copy and close the original, delete the credits and the yellow clovers.

I usually make mine 800 x 800 and resize later.
Paste the gold coin paper and apply your mask, delete and merge group.
Take your free hand selection took and draw around the rainbow arch and paste the green stripe paper, invert and delete. Move below the arch.

On the 2 dark green circles, select all float, defloat, add a new raster layer, fill with this color or one you prefer, #f1c51e.
Then Selections, Modify, Contract by 4 and delete, select none.
Add noise at 75% to both of the yellow circles.
Apply Andrews Filter 44-Fabric Wrapper at default setting to the green circles.
On the top green circle, resize the Leaf Clover with bow to 7%, and the clover flower to 25% and place in the circle.
Resize the Pot of Gold to 20% and place in the lower green circle. Resize the leprechaun to 5% and place behind the pot and move up some. Give him a drop shadow of

Duplicate him and mirror and place on the left side.
Resize the gold coins to 40% and place behind the lower green circle to the right some, duplicate and place in front of the circle.
On your orange layer, apply PhotoEffex-Scanlines,

Select the green center layer and paste your closeup, I resize mine to 85%, invert and delete.
Apply xero filter-soft mood, change the haziness to 115.
Then apply xero filter-Mistifer with haziness set at 200.
Paste your full tube, resize to 90% and place on the right side.
Resize the shamrock spatter to 65%, duplicate and move to the left side, merge these to together and move to just above the black doodle layer.
Resize the yellow netting to 23%,

The one on the left, free rotate to the right 10 degrees, erase some of the part showing at the top of the template.
Resize the clover flower to 30%, duplicate and place where you like them.
Resize the hat to 30% and place on the left side.
Resize the horseshoe to 20%, place one behind the hat, then duplicate and free rotate the other one to the left 20 degrees and place by the hat. Duplicate the coin layer again and move under the hat and out a little bit.
