ADDING ANIMATION

--> Will tell how to add the animation on your tag, the other animations are not included on this tutorial.

1. Animation Shop -> Open the animation you chose to use. I'm using Animation 015 by Disturbed Scraps. After open the animation see how many frames it has. In this case is 24 frames. Select all. 

2. PSP -> Turn layers: 1, 2, 3 and 4, the copyright and the name layer invisible. Use Copy Merged. 

3. Animation Shop -> Paste as new animation. Duplicate it 23 times so the tag background you created has 24 frames, the same as the animation.

4. Animation Shop -> Edit > Propagate Paste. Click on the animation you will use. Be sure you selected all frames. Copy. Click on the tag background. Select all. Paste Into Selected Frame. Arrange it where you want it added and click to fix it on image.

5. PSP -> Turn layers: 1, 2, 3 and 4, the copyright and the name layer visible and all the other layers invisible. Copy merged.

6. Animation Shop -> Paste as new animation. Copy. Click on the background tag image. Be sure all layers are selected. Paste into selected frame. Position it and click. I changed my Frame Animation speed to 15. Save as GIF.
