Resize the canvas to about 850 x 650 so you have room to work.

Add a new layer, flood fill it white and send it to the bottom, just so we can see our work better.

To fill the layers with papers, make the layer active in your layer palette, click inside the shape with your magic wand, selections, invert,

open your paper, copy and paste as a new layer, click delete on your keyboard.

Fill the following layers with these papers:

Circle: paper 12

Add your tube, if you use the same one as I did, I resized mine by 50%

Now we'll add our elements. Check my tag for exact placement.
