Copy your horse image and paste as a new layer, I have resized mine a bit to make it fit better.

Set the opacity of this tube layer to 50% and merge down.
Set the blendmode of the merged layer to Hard light.
Copy your tube again and paste as a new layer.
Image, mirror and move to the right, resize if needed.
Add drop shadow
Copy flowers and paste as a new layer, image mirror and move to the right, add shadow.

New layer, fill with a light color from your tube.
Select all, selections, contract by 4 and hit delete.Select/none.
New layer, fill with a dark color from your tube.
Select all, selections, contract by 2 and hit delete.Select/none.
Type your word art A Cowgirls Passion or something else you find more suitable.
Add shadow.
Add the correct copyright info(after you have resized), your license number, name and export as .PNG or save as .JPG
To make a matching avatar I cropped the image down to 146x146
-Added borders of 2 pix with light color of tube.
-Added borders of 2 pix with dark color of tube.
If your cropped the part with the tube you have to place credits on the avatar too, just artist name and license number.
And be sure to put a name on it to or just a capital letter of the name.
Done! :D
