Merge All (flatten) and export using the .JPEG optimizer and save

That's your frame. 

Background.
Choose a portion of your left side border.
Be sure to seamless tile it at edge and vertical.
Let the numbers set themselves.

Add a background using your color or choice.
Add what ever texture you like.

Merge All (flatten) and export using the .JPEG optimizer and save

Go to Letter Creator and put it together.

This tutorial is just a guide. What you do with it is your choice.
Try another type of graphic. A taller and less wide portrait will
look just as good as the frame is shifted 90%.
Please do not make changes and then claim it as your own.
It is strictly the results of an old tutorial I did several years ago.
I have used some of Mayza's setting.
