1. Open a new image 600x300.
2. Open paper 'ScrapMonti_OutOfThisWorld-Paper2' copy and paste as new layer. Resize 80%. Arrange it so the lighter parts of the paper appears.
3. Open element 'ScrapMonti_OutOfThisWorld-Element27' copy and paste as new layer. Arrange it to the top. Duplicate. Arrange it to bottom (don't use mirror).

5. Open element 'ScrapMonti_OutOfThisWorld-Element6' copy and paste as new layer. Resize 25%. Arrage it to the right. It will appear behind the moon, if needed re-arrange it again later.
6. Open element 'ScrapMonti_OutOfThisWorld-Element9' copy and paste as new layer. Arrange it down, just a part of the moon will appear.
7. Open element 'ScrapMonti_OutOfThisWorld-Element17' copy and paste as new layer. Resize 25%. Arrange it above the moon to the left.
8. Open element 'ScrapMonti_OutOfThisWorld-Element31' copy and paste as new layer. Resize 25%. Free Rotate right-55. Rename CAR. Move this layer bellow the astronaut we just added.
9. Add a new layer, move this layer above all others. Select all. Flood fill with #000000, Contract 1. Flood fill with #808080. Contract 2. Flood fill with #ffffff, add noise with uniform/100/monochrome. Contract 2. Hit delete on you keyboard. Selection None.
10. Add shadow as you like. I used 1-1-65-2 black.
11. Add copyright.
12. Add name. I used: Checkbook / size: 48
Now we will start the animation process.
1. With the ellipse tool, make a half circle around the moon so you can follow the line and your car don't look like you have a drunk driver. Rename it LINE.
2. Select the CAR layer. Arrange it to the far bottom right. Just a small part of it will appear. Duplicate. Free Rotate left-15. Arrange it a little more to the front. Duplicate. Free Rotate left-25. Arrange it again to the front. Follow the line we made. I used: Free Rotate - left always - with 35, 50, 60, 75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 130, 145. But for you may be different, so just see whats best for you. (I've ended up with 13 car layers).
3. Hide all the car layers. Copy merged, Go to animation shop, paste as new animation. Back to PSP, open the first car layer. Copy merged. Back do animation, paste after current. Back to PSP, hide the layer, open the second and back to animation. keep doing this until all the car layer were sent to animation.
4. Select the first layer (at animation shop). Animation/Frame Properties - change to 100. The others change to 20.
