1. Open your supplies in PSP

3. Copy and paste the Time Image as a new layer onto your blank canvas, and resize it by 115 percent.
4. Copy and paste the clock face, (Just for sizing and placing purposes, we will delete this layer later on), Move it further to the top of the page and move the Time image so it fits nicely behind the clock face.
5. Copy and paste your Tube of choice as a new layer, You might need to resize it to fit nicely depending on what tube you used.
6. Add a drop shadow, I used Vertical & Horizontal 0, Opacity 65, Blur 6, Colour Black.
7. Using your Selection Tool, Set on Rectangle, Add Shift and feather 0, Draw out a rectangle at the bottom of the clock to place the label in, refer to tag for Placing and size.
8. Add a new Raster Layer, Copy the Label and Paste into Selection, Select None.
9. Add Whatever you wish to write in the Label, and add the same drop shadow as above.
10. Add the Artists Copyright, Your water mark, And the name you wish on the tag.
11. Once happy with all your Placements, Delete the clock Face Layer

14. Back in PSP, Undo the Rotate you have just done and then apply Free Rotate, Right 60, Again do Copy Merged, Into Animation shop Ctrl L..
15. Follow Step 14 again, and keep following step 14 untill you get a total of 12 Frames in your animation Shop, but Change the Free Rotation each time to add another 30, so you should have the free rotates at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330.

17. Back in Your PSP, Hide all the layers except for the White Background and the Time Image Layer, Copy Merged, Paste as a New animation in Your Animation Shop, Duplicate this to a total of 12 Frames so you have the same amount of frames as your Clock Animation.
