Scrap Kit:  Rosa by Amy Marie can be found Here

This tut was written for those with working knowledge of both PSP Animation Shop.
Lets Begin:
New Canvas 800X600 72DPI.  Remember to save often.

Element3:  C&P on to canvas.  Resize by 50% place on the left hand side.  (See my tag for placement).

Element2:  C&P on to canvas.  Resize by 50% then by 75% and place to the right of the first flower.

Element4:  C&P on to canvas.  Resize by 75% and place behind the two flowers.  Free rotate 15 degrees to the left.  Duplicate and mirror (depending on the version of PSP you are using you might need to move the duplicate over a little).
Merge these three elements together.

Element40:  C&P on to canvas, and move below the other elements in the layer palette and move just to the right of them.  With your lasso tool:  Point to Point feather and smoothing set at 0 and nothing checked go around the inside circle. 
Open PP1 and copy.  Back on working canvas and paste as a new layer underneath.  Invert the selection and hit delete.  Invert it again and do not unselect it. 
Open Element 32 and copy close it.  Then back on working canvas paste as a new layer.  Resize by 75% then by 85% so it looks like it is in the frame.  Unselect.

Back on the paper layer select all float defloat and invert.  Back on the merge layer hit delete.  And if any of the Eyes are hanging over hit delete on that as well. 

Element14:  C&P on to canvas.  Resize by 75% and place on the top right of the frame.  With the eraser tool erase the little bit that hangs over the eye.

Element72:  C&P on to canvas.  Resize by 50% and place on the bottom of the frame.

Elements87&88:  C&P Element87 on to the canvas and resize by 50% then by 75% two times.  Place to the right of Element72.  C&P Element88 and resize by 50% twice and place to the right of the other candle.  Move both candles to the left hand side.

Tube:  (I'm using the Margarita by Alex Prihodko you can get her over at PFD.  Please do not use without buying her and having the proper license to use her).  C&P on to canvas.  Resize to the size you want I did it by 50% then by 75%.  Add copyright and save as psp. 

Now we're going to animate this tag so crop and resize as needed before you move everything over to animation shop.


Animation:
  Close off all the layers but the eyes.  Copy merge and paste as a new animation over AS.

In AS go to effects and use Insert Image Transition.  You're going to want the fade effect.  Play around with the settings to get the right one that you want.  Select all copy and paste after current frame.  Reverse Frame.

Now back in PSP close the eyes and open the paper.  Copy merge and paste as a new animation in AS.  Now you're going to want to have the same amount of frames for this one as you do for the eyes so go to Animation>Insert Frame> the number of frames is going to be set to one less then the amount of frames you have and the insert before frame is going to be 2.  Frame delay is at 10 for now.  Carry forward is checked.  And hit okay and you should have the right amount of frames.

Now back on the eye animation select all and copy.  Back on the paper Select all (make sure propagate paste is selecte) and paste the eyes into selected frame.  Move it around until the eyes are centered in the paper. 

Back in PSP close off the paper and open the other elements above it.  Merge visible and copy merge.  Paste as new animation over in AS.  Now hit copy and paste it into frame on the papers and eye animation.

Now close this layer off and open up the tube.  And repeat the same steps as before to get over in AS.  Do this with the copyright too.

Now save this as an mng

Back in PSP add name(s) add any embelishments to the name that you want.  Convert to raster and move it over to AS.  then paste on the tag.

Now when you go to save it as gif you're going to want a background for it or it will get all distorted.  So go up to animation>animation properties>Opaque and set the color to white.
