C/P Element 5 (Red Wings) Resize by 50%. Flip. Center over your boa so the wings hang over the bottom. duplicate wings and move slightly upwards. (Dont worry about the top half of the wings as they will be covered anyway.)

C/P Element 71 (Rose Bouquet). Resize by 25%. (I used my eraser to mostly remove the green leaf but it is not necessary) Position in the center of the wings. Duplicate 2 times. move one bunch to the right of the original and the other to the left.
C/P Element 26 (Chain). Resize by 25%. Position toward the right side at the bottom of your roses. (You want it to look like it is hanging from the bottom of the roses.) Duplicate, Mirror, And Flip.

C/P Element 31 (Scattered roses). Resize by 25%. Move these so they are just peeking our from under the other elements. Duplicate, Mirror, and position right next to the original. (I renamed mine right and left so they were easier to work with during animation.)

If you don't want to animate add your copyright and watermark and save now...This is what your tag will look like...

Okay now for the animation...
Copy merged and paste the entire tag into animation shop as a new image. 
Now duplicate your Roses left and right. Move each side slightly down. (You can also move each one slightly right or left each time in order to get a more realistic falling effect.) Close your original roses. Copy merged into animation shop after the current frame.

Continue repeating these steps until all the roses are off the frame. (I ended up with 10 frames.)
Click the first frame in you animation. Edit, Select all. Animation, Frame Properties to 20.

Now to add your name...
Type out text in red. Add inner Bevel with these settings...
Add gradient glow with these settings...
