and add a new layer.Paste a paper of choice a gradient into selection,then deselect.
Delete the original layer.
Repeat this until all the template layers are filled.
I used the coloured balls from the kit to fill my circle layers.
Add drop shadows to all the template layers ,i use 2,2 50 5.
Add your tube and position in the middle of the frames.Add a drop shadow.
Now place some elements you like from the kit onto your tag.
You can use mine as a guide,or go your own way.
Add some wordart using a different font and colour for each`mistletoe`word.
Place one at the top and one at the bottom of your tag.
Add your name using the alpha provided.
Now delete the white background layer(unless you want to animate)merge all layers
and resize to your liking.
Add your credits and that`s it,you are done!
If you want to animate your tag click on the element you want to animate and duplicate two times.
Click on the original one,and x out the other two.
Go to selections select all,selections float,and apply Dsb flux Bright noise intensity 20,mix checked.
Now x out that layer,and un x out the second dplicated layer.
Apply Dsb Bright noise again,this time change the intensity to 25.
X out that layer,and repeat the Dsb Bright noise on the third duplicated layer.
Change the intensity to 30.
Selections>select none.
Repeat on any other elements you want to animate.
When you are done, go to edit>copy merged and paste into animation shop.
Back in psp,x out the first duplicated layer you animated,and un x out the second.
Edit>copy merged and paste`after current frame`in animation shop.
Repeat these steps on the last layer,and again paste after current frame.
When you have three frames,go to View>animation and see if it looks okay.
Now save as a gif.
