Open bb_puffy felt snowman 3 and re-size by 25%.  Move it to the corner, rotate it using your deform tool and then sharpen once.

Open ornamental-clipartand re-size by 15%. Add below your snowman and duplicate 4x. Move them into any position you like.

Add a new layer above your snowman and add the snow drift settings below:

Move this new layer to the left and slightly downward. Duplicate, mirror and merge together.

Add your desired text with the desired font. I added a PSP bevel before my gradient glow.
