~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add drop shadows as you go along.

Open porthole. Shift + D to duplicate, close original.
Increase canvas size, 700 x 700 center.
Resize 120%, move up on your canvas a bit.
Take your freehand magic wand tool and draw a cirle around the porthole.
New layer, drag below porthole.  Open paper 1 and paste into selection. Deselect.
Open water. Place to bottom left of the frame.  Duplicate to darken a bit,
merge down.  Duplicate again and move to right side of frame. Erase any water that is
overlapping outsides of the frame.  Merge down.
Open scatter.  Rotate right 90° and drag down to on top of the water. Gaussian blur 5.
Change blend mode to Screen.
Open sparkle2.  Resize 60%, place to just where the horizon on the water is.
Open sun. Resize 40%. Place to upper left of frame.
Click on frame layer.
Open sand. Place toward bottom left of frame.
Duplicate. Mirror horizontal, flip vertical.
Open seaweed. Place just above the sand at the bottom of the frame.
Open boat and move to left corner of frame/canvas.
Open bucket. Resize 75%. Flip vertical. Place to right side of frame.
Go to your top sand layer, duplicate and drag above the bucket layer. Use your deform
tool (hit k on your keyboard to open) and drag the node down to where the sand
is covering just the bottom of the bucket, and drag the left node down to remove
the sand from off the boat (or you can just erase it).
Open bird. Resize 55% and place on top of the bucket.
Open log. Resize 40%. Place between boat and bucket.
Open rope. Resize 25%. Rotate right 60°. Sharpen.
Place on the far right end of the boat on the part that sticks up. Erase
parts of the rope to make it look like it's hanging off.  I also erased the
part that was showing in front of the bucket.
Open starfish.   Flip vertical.  Flip horizontal.  Place to left of frame.
(I raised mine up a bit and erased part of the rope that was overhanging at the
top.)
Open your tube and resize and place as desired. (I put mine lying down at the bottom.)
Open swirl and drag down to just below your tube and tube layer
Open any of the shells/starfish2 you want, resize and place to your liking.
Go to very bottom of palette, new layer.  Select all.
Open paper 6, paste into selection.  Deselect.
Add mask and merge group.  Duplicate, merge down. Duplicate and merge down again.
Resize 60%.  Move up and left. Duplicate and mirror.  Duplicate and place as you wish.
Merge all mask layers.
Add name and copyright and you're done!
