This tutorial is done in PSP
9.
1. Open the MD-CantonBorder.psp.
The Borders and
the Fan are made by me using
this tutorial.
Shift-D to duplicate and close the
original.
2. Effects > Reflection effects > Kaleidoscope.
3. Open the MD-Canton-Overlay.psp and
copy.
4. Edit > Paste >
Paste as a new layer.
No need to move.
5. Lock the black background.
Make
sure you are on one of the top layers.
6. Layers > Merge > Merge
visible.
Unlock the bottom layer.
7. Image > Canvas size > 400 X
400.
8. Now select the bottom layer
(=blue).
Fill with black so you don't have any transparency
left.
9. Now go to the top layer and select
it.
10. Layers >
Duplicate.
Immediately lock this duplicate layer.
Select the
layer beneath (=blue).
If all is well you are on the middle
layer.
11. Effects > Reflection effects > Pattern.
12. Unlock the top layer.
13. You still need to be on the middle
layer (=blue).
Set your selection tool to circle (feather
0).
14. Start in the middle and pull a
circle up to the
gold and diamond overlay. See screenshot.
15. Double check if you are still on
the pattern layer (=blue).
Click delete to remove
the center part.
16. Selections > None.
If all
went well you now have this:
17. Stay on the middle
layer.
18. Open one of the Canton images and
copy.
I used the Canton Geisha 1.
19. Edit > Paste >
Paste as a new layer.
If you did it as this tutorial instructs,
your image is beneath the pearl frame.
Move  your
image a little bit until it nicely fits in the frame.
20. Layers > Merge > Merge all
flatten.

Pixels > Symmetric > White.

the MD-CantonBorder-2.psp and copy.

Move the
border down so it almost touches the white edge.
24. Keep a small black border as on the screenshot
below.
25. Layers > Duplicate.

Put
the border in place.

the diamond on a corner.
