Take a few of the cookies any of them will do, re-size to fit around the jar, small so they do not hide the jar itself…

** I made an avie by taking 3 or 4 cookies re-sizing to fit inside a 200x200 size avatar, used the paper in raster 6 and added the tube re-sized down from the tag, and then used the same font on it..

Make a new raster layer to add your copyrights and give credit to the kit maker since it is required …
