3. Create a new raster layer behind the heart candy layer again
Using your tool, trace along the open area of the candy
Open Animation shop
4. Open the animated snow into animation shop
Copy the first frame
Go back to PSP and paste the frame as a new image
Go to your flood fill tool and then select pattern
Flood the selection area with the snow pattern
De-Select everything and save as frame 1 or how ever you wish
Hit the undo button until just the heart is selected again
Delete the first snow frame in PSP so you don't choose it again
Go back to animation shop and copy the second frame
Repeat these steps until you have created a total of 10 tag frames
5. Once you are finished, go back to animation shop and open the frames using your animation wizard
Choose 10 for the speed
Press play, if you are happy with the results, save and you are done!
