clipping mask is a type of art that brings more flavor to your tags
if you use gimp... you use a splatter brush on a new layer
then you go to layers>transpericy>alpha to selection
then do dialogues>paths
then click the oval to outline the selection
then you do>new layer>copy visible
then you hide the original brushed layer
then on the paths section click the square to outline it
then click edit>paste into, and move it around to make it look good

there are easier ways, but i use this method

buty its graphics relayted...
basically
when you look at a piece of cardboard, mkay?
its solid.
but with a clipping mask.
certain parts of that cardboard are cut away
revealing the area underneath
which you move around.
and the layer under the "cardboard"
shows only through the holes in the "cardboard"
mk?
