13. After you apply the transformation, hit CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+T on your keyboard 7-9 times and you will get something like this. What this does it re-do the transformation each time you hit those keys. Each transformation is based on the location of the previous transformation and is put on a new layer. So you get a spiral effect.

14. Your layer palette will look pretty confusing at first, but it’s simply showing each ‘note’ layer. We will fix this in a few more steps. For now we will give the top most ‘note’ layer a different rotational angle for a nice effect. To do this just enter transform mode for the top layer only and give it a different angle.

15. Like this.

16. Now for another nice little touch. Duplicate the layer you just gave a new rotation (transformed) and move it all the way to the bottom of every other ‘note’ layer but above your background layer. When you move your layer to the bottom, reduce the fill to 0%. This is what this step should look like.

17. Now go into blending options and add a drop shadow with these settings.

18. Here is what you should have, a nice subtle shadow from the top note.
