Design a die-cut-style retail PRICE TAG, 2:3 portrait aspect ratio, output size 1000x1500. FIXED LAYOUT (must match across every variant of this template): a die-cut tag silhouette (rounded rectangle or scalloped edge) with a small punched string hole at the top-center; a brand/shop name band directly below the hole; a large center price display as the dominant text element; a product/item name line directly below the price; a bottom strip with a generic barcode-pattern graphic. VARIABLE CONTENT for this specific example: brand/shop name = "Ember & Oak Candle Co.", price = "$12.00 (was $18.00)", product/item name = "Cedarwood Soy Candle", tag shape = scalloped edge, seasonal motif = small sale-burst starburst icon, color scheme = sale red and cream. Render the brand name, price, and product name as real, legible, correctly spelled text exactly as given. The barcode graphic should look like a generic scannable barcode pattern, not a real functional code. Do not add a watermark.
