So there are many cute and beautiful elements so it depends on how YOU feel. You are free to look at my tag as a reference and make it the same way I did, but again that is up to you.

47)   Make sure to add your copyright and your name!!!

48)   Once you add your name if in a dark color you might want to add a gradient glow in a lighter color so it shows up in some of the darker backgrounds used in Forums.

49)   Thank you so much for trying my tutorial and I would love to see the results. 

Sincerely,
