Please do not copy as use as your own work
This tutorial is written using PSP 9 but it can also be done in other versions
Animation Shop I will refer to this as AS
Filters Unlimited Mirror
Font of choice I used Halloween Bats
Tube of choice I am using Barbara Jensen,
Please do not use unless you have a license this can be purchased at her site

Make a liner gradient Angle 0 and Repeats 0, make this from two colours from your tube
I used #f89210 for foreground and #202020 for background
Lets get started
Step 1
Open up a image 600 x250, fill with your gradient, duplicate, twice making three in all,
apply Filters Unlimited Radial Mirror, shot 1, now apply to the two duplicates, hitting the random button each time,
rename these Mirror 1, 2 and 3, apply soft light and close off 2 and 3 for now.
Shot 1

crop your image to 600 x 250, duplicate your tube and send it to bottom name this bottom tube,
reactive the top tube and give it a drop shadow I used O and H 4 Opacity 50 and Blur 5
Step 3
New raster layer fill with your gradient Select all Modify by 6 hit delete,
new raster layer again fill with your gradient then flip Select all Modify by 3 hit delete,
