Step Three:Click on person image >edit>copy, then click on new red image>edit> paste as new layer - Select your erasor tool and erase the white background from around the person.(This will leave the person on its own layer with no background on it.) Now put this image aside for later use.

Step Seven:Go to Layers>New Raster Layer>OK. Then Effects>Plugins>Dragonfly>Sinedots2 and leaving settings same as before click OK>. The select your Erasor tool and size to suit width of letter erase the sinedots that are over the letter hanging out of the opening of the funnel. ( This will make it look like the name now disappears inside the funnel.)

Step Eight:Now Click on the person image that you erased the bkg from before and then on edit>copy. - Click back on the image you have been making again and then on edit>paste as new layer - Now using your move tool move your peron to the opening of the funnel.

Step Nine:You will notice that part of the person's leg is meant to be inside the funnel so

Go to Layers>New Raster Layer>OK. Then Effects>Plugins>Dragonfly>Sinedots2 and leaving settings same as before click OK>. The select your Erasor tool and erase all of the sinedot layer you have just made except the section over the part of the leg that is inside the funnel. ( This will make it look like the name now disappears inside the funnel.)If you don't erase the rest it is too thick and hides name too much.
