Make your own add-on

MAKE YOUR OWN ADD-ON
  1. Open  document.  I used Paper 8 of Susan’s Sweet Romance Kit.

  1. Duplicate by right clicking layer or ctrl J

  1. Choose Elliptical Marquee tool and make a circle . Hold Shift key while dragging to make a perfect circle.
  1. Press ctrl J so that your selected circle will have a separate layer. You can delete the background and duplicate background layers now.

  1. Open a new document. Mine is  6 in x 6 in 300 dpi. Copy circle[ ctrl C) and paste (ctrl V) to new document or simply  Drag your cut circle in the new document.  Resize by going to Edit—transform.  Hold Shift key so as not to deform the circle while resizing
  2. Add layer style . Click “fx” under the layer’s palette or double click the  circle layer and the layer style window will appear.

I played around with the Bevel and Emboss layer style. NOTE: size of Bevel is  only 12.
  1. Get an embellishment from your kit.  Drag on top of your embossed circle and resize to fit .

  1. Unlock background layer by double clicking so you can delete it and save your new embellishment as png file.

  1. You can also play with the layer modes of the butterfly layer.  For example, I change the layer mode of the butterfly to “overlay”

Here are image samples if you change the layer mode of the butterfly
