Navigate the Preset Shapes to find the "Deer Viewing" Sign.  With retain style and vector checked, draw out the deer to the size of your canvas.

v6 Users:  Load the deer.sel file and skip to this step in the instructions.

Delete Layer 2, you now have a clean, jaggie free selection.

*My thanks to Helen Grainge and LindaMarie for helping me cleanly select the deer.

Change the foreground style to sunburst gradient.

Brighten the color of your deer by going to Colors | Adjust | Brightness/Contrast

Create a new layer at the top of your layer palette.  With your Selecton tool | Ellipse | Antialias checked, draw an ellipse similar to this one for your table top.  Fill with the Metallic Linear Gradient | Angle 90.  Lower the opacity of the layer to 40.

Create a new layer and drag below the glass top we just made to make the edge of the glass.  With your selection still active, change to the mover tool, right click and drag your selection down about 4 pixels (just guess, we can fix it later.)  Fill the selection with the same gradient.  Now, go to Selections | Modify | Contract | 4 | OK | Delete | Deselect.

With your rectangle selection tool, select the top half of the ellipse, then hit delete.  Use your mover tool if you need to nudge the edge into place, then lower the opacity to 70.

Give the glass layer and the edge layer a drop shadow.

Effects | 3D Effects | Drop Shadow

Hide the black background and the two deer, then merge visible the glass and edge for your glass table top.

Create a new layer for your candle.  With your rounded rectangle selection, antialias checked, draw out the size and shape of your candle.  Fill with the same metallic gradient.  To stay with a gold theme, I used.

Colors | Colorize
Hue | 30
Saturation | 120

 
Create a new layer, use dark gray, with your draw tool set to 5, make the wick for your candle.

Create a new layer for your flame.  I used JASC's fire set at 20.

Okay, the hard part is done, now comes the fun part, you are ready to decorate!  All of my candle decorations are tubes.  Some are JASC's that came with v7, some I've found on the 'net.  I won't go into detail on the decorations.  I obsess and use too many layers when I'm playing around!

A few tips:

• For each decoration I added, I made a new layer.  You can move and manipulate or delete if you don't like what you've done.
• Be sure and add a few decorations below your candle layer to give more depth to your image.
• When you are finished, hide the background, the deer layers and the glass table top, merge visible your candle, wick, flame and decorations.  Save as a PSP file with your layers intact to reuse your deer, table top or candle in another image.  I recycle parts of my images all the time!  Pssst......it's either resourceful or lazy, you decide!  ;-)

If you would like to add the candle glow as I did.  Create a new layer, fill with black, set the blend mode to screen.  Effects | Illumination Effects | Sunburst with the following settings.

Play with the sliders, change the glow color, have fun!  Once I was satisfied, I lowered the opacity of the sunburst layer to 65.  As always, be creative, make the image uniquely yours!

Follow the instructions to make the brass deer.
Duplicate your deer layer.
Go to Effects > Texture Effects > Rough Leather > Custom 2.
Go to Colors > Negative Image.
Set the layer blend mode to Dodge.
Merge visible layers.
Go to Colors > Colorize > Hue 0, Saturation 0.
Set the layer blend mode to Hard Light.
Flood fill your background with a pattern to see the difference.
