3,Grab your preset shapes tool & use same settings as above only change the Fore ground to Null & Background a colour from your tube. Make this circle more or less the same size as the other one.

Go to Effects/Penta /Colour dot. Use these settings:

Value - 90

Colour R- 255

Check - make gaps transparent.

I drew a dotted circle a little bigger than the main circle, using a colour from my tube.

5, Add your flower embellishments & anything else you want to add.

I also added the words Sensual Beauty, in circular text.

Just draw out another circle a little bigger on a vector layer, Do not convert to raster.

Then add your text using these settings :

Create as Floating, then hover the little A over the circle, when you are happy with the text, Promote selection to layer & delete the circle.

Add your name, watermark & the correct © info . Merge visible & save a Jpeg or Png file..
