For the avatar:
Open an image 150x150
I closed off layers from my banner until I got to the tube images under the frames
Copy merged, paste as a new layer on avi canvas
Add borders following the directions for the banner
but change the first border to 2 pixels
and the second to 4 pixels
Add copyright, license and name
merge and save!!
