Copy & paste frame3 as a new layer. Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colorize/Set to H/244, S/76, or something that matches the tube you use. Copy & paste your image as a new layer and move under the frame layer. Using your Magic Wand, click inside the frame, Selections/Modify/Expand by 3/Selections/Invert and hit Delete on the image layer. Add drop shadow to your frame and merge these layers. Duplicate. Working on the original mask layer, Adjust/Blur/Gaussian Blur/Set to 5, Effects/Xenofex2/Constellation/Set to Star Size/4.55, Size Variation/100, Edge Star Density/1, Overall Star Density/12, Overdrive/82, Twinkle Amount/75, Twinkle Rotation/45, Background Fill/Keep original image.
