Tutorial done in PSPX2.

Must having some working knowledge of the program.

Mask 081 by WeeScotLass HERE.

Tube by Elias Chatzoudis, purchase HERE.

Template by me, download [HERE].

Filters are HSB Noise (Eyecandy 4000) and Penta Color Dot (optional).

*************************************

this is a super easy tutorial.

open my template and add a new raster layer above

circle1 and stripe1.

gradient fill the layer above circle1 with:

foreground - #6c3960

background - #43253d

use the following settings:
Angel: 0
Repeats: 1
Invert: checked
Style: Linear

float/defloat circle1, invert, delete gradient fill.

select none, hide circle1.

gradient fill with same settings on the layer above

stripe1 with the following colors:

foreground - #d7e55e

background - #97c418

float/defloat stripe1, invert, delete gradient fill.

select none, hide stripe1.

OPTIONAL

use this setting for Penta Color Dot on stripe 1:

90,5,255,255,255

now add a new raster layer above circle2.

gradient fill with the following colors:

foreground - #f2dd00

background - #dc8b17

use the following settings:
Angel: 90
Repeats: 1
Invert: checked
Style: Linear

float/defloat circle2, invert, delete gradient fill.

select none, hide circle2.

add a new raster layer above stripe2.

fill with #6c3960.

float/defloat stripe2, delete fill layer.

select none, hide stripe2.

duplicate fill layer and cutout with this setting:

Offset, Vertical: 0
Offset, Horizontal: 0
Opacity: 100
Blur: 100.00
Shadow color: #43253d
Fill interior with color: unchecked

under texture, use blinds at:

width - 3

opacity - 10

color - #ffffff

horizontal checked

add the same blinds settings to circle1 gradient fill.

add a new raster layer under circle1.

fill with #97c418 and apply mask081.

right click to merge mask group.

add a tube of your choice.

add a dropshadow:

1,1,80,3,#000000

add text and license/copyright info here.

you're done if you don't want to animate the tag.

keep going to use the HSB Noise filter.

now go back down to circle1 gradient fill layer and duplicate it twice

(so you have a total of 3 layers).

hide the top 2 and use these settings for HSB noise:
Hue Variation: 0
Saturation Variation: 0
Brightness Variation: 20
Opacity Variation: 0
Lump Width: 55.00
Lump Height: 55.00
Pattern: Smooth Lumps
Seamless Tile: checked

use the same settings for the next 2 layers but click

Random Seed each time.

now copy merged and paste as new animation is Animation Shop.

go back and hide the next hsb noise layer,

copy and paste after current frame.

repeat for the last layer.

frame properties should be set to 20.

optimize your animation and you're done!

thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
