Hello! I'm Crystal, aka darkly dreaming. I'm 34 and live in the Midwestern USA. I've been back into PSP since November of 2010. Prior to that I tried PSP for about a year back in 2005 or 2006. I've just recently begun trying my hand at tutorials. If you try one of my tuts and would like to show me what you made, please email me at darklydreaming33@hotmail.com. Happy Tagging!

Now let's animate....

42) Open the novasparks animation in Animation shop.

46) Click on the novasparks animation. Ctrl A. Make sure you are on Frame 1 of it, and drag over to Frame 1 of our tag and place at the bottom right. Then go back to the novasparks animation and hit ctrl z. Make sure all frames are selected, and drag from frame 1 of it to frame 1 of our tag (with all frames selected on it too) and place in the middle of the close up tube.
47)  View animation. If you're happy with it, Save as a .mng so you can add your name and others (if you didn't already had your name). If you have your name already, go ahead and save as .gif.
48) If you need to add a name, go back to the tag in animation shop. Add your name as you normally would. Then when happy with it, copy just that layer and come into Animation shop. Paste as a new image. Repeat step 45 above on your name, so that it has 15 frames. Then Make sure to select all layers on the name, and all layers on the tag, and drag from Frame 1 of name to Frame 1 of tag and release where you want your name to be. View animation and if happy, save your .gif.

Thanks for trying my tut!
