Step 1

Open up a new transparent image 590 width by 425 height.  Open up the binder graphic and go to Edit/Copy.  Make the transparent image active and go to Edit/Paste as New Layer.  Left click the mover tool and move the binder to the top left corner of the transparency.

Step 2

Open up your tube graphic.  Go to Edit/Copy.  Make the tag image active and go to Edit/Paste as New Layer.  If the image is too large, go to Image/Resize using the percent option, bicubic and resize all layers not checked. Move your image in front of the binder leaving room on the right hand side to later add the spelling animation.
