4. We will now begin the animated part of the tag
Using your selection tool, Rectangle, trace along the left of the frame opening
Create a new raster layer above the tube layer
Open you animation shop
Open the animated snow
The snow included in this tutorial has 19 frames, so you will be creating a total of 19 individual tags, 1 per frame
Copy the first frame of the snow
Paste as a new image inside PSP
Using your flood fill tool, add the snow frame into the selection
Save as frame 1
Delete the snow pattern in PSP so you don't use it again
Click the undo button until just the frame area is selected, and just the snow has been removed
Go back to Animation shop and copy the second frame of the snow
Repeat this step until finished
5. Now open animation wizard and open the frames of the tag inside
Select speed, I used 10
Press play, if you are happy with the speed, save and you are done!
