Then on the bottom (original) tube layer apply a drop shadow.

 Now activate your text tool again, set your font to Helen Script ES, Size 90 pixels, and color of your choice. I used black (#000000).

Type out whatever phrase you want it to say, I used "Happy Easter"

Now go to your layers pallet, and right click on your name layer, and click Convert to raster layer.

Now go to Effects, click Plug-ins, then find your Eye Candy 4 and click on Gradient Glow.

Change your Glow Width to 3 and click Ok.

Apply a drop shadow.

In your layers pallet click the very last layer , then open Paper 3, copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas, then go to Layers and click Load/Save Mask. Then click Load Mask From Disk. Click Ok.

Now in layers pallet, right click on your mask layer and click Merge, then click Merge Group.

Now re-size your mask to 85%.

(If you need to use your move tool and position your mask where ever you would like it to be)

Now you will need to add any copyright & credit information.

Go to your layers pallet and right click on any layer and click Merge, then from the slide out menu click Merge Visible.

If you wish not to animate you can re-size your tag and save as a png. 

Open your Animation Shop

While you are in your animation shop go to file click Open, and find your animation you downloaded from TallChics blog earlier. Once it is open, click on the first frame and then using the keys on your keyboard press Ctrl & A to select all the frames.(OR you can go to Edit, and click on Select All) There is 29 frames all together. Once you select them all you will see a blue outline around each frame.

Now once you have that step done, go back to your PSP, go to Edit, and click Copy.

Then go back to your Animation Shop, and in a blank area in your Animation Shop work spot (grey area) right click then click Paste As New Animation.

Now you will see your tag in your Animation Shop.

Now we need 29 frames of your tag, so using your Ctrl & L keys on your keyboard, hold down the Ctrl key and press your L key until you have 29 frames. You can see how many frames you have by looking in the lower left corner of your Animation Shop. Once you get 29 frames of your tag, you need to select all 29 of those frames, so use your Ctrl & A keys again to select all, OR go to Edit, and click Select All.

Now right click on your 1st animation frame, click Copy, then go to your tag frames, and right click on the 1st. frame of your tag and click Paste, then click "Paste Into Selected Frame".

(Be careful not to left click on your tag or animation as that will unselect all 29 of your frames. You must have ALL frames selected so that when you paste your animation in frame 1 it will also paste it to the rest of the 29 frames.)

Now wait until you see your animation show up, it normally shows in the middle of your tag, do not click on your tag yet, move your mouse (without clicking) until your animation is where you want it to be, then once you have it where you want it, then left click and that will place it where you want it.

Now for this tag I pasted the animation 3 times on each side of the rainbow. 

So once you get the first animation set, all you have to do is right click, click paste, then click "Into Selected Frame".

 Keep doing that until you have all the animation where you want it to go. If you make a mistake, just hit your undo button in animation shop and do it again. 

Once you have all your animation set, click on View Animation, (it is at the top right hand side, hold your mouse over each button and it will tell you what that button is for. The View Animation button is the second one from the end.)

If your animation & tag appears the way you want it, you might want to re-size your tag at this time.

To re-size in Animation Shop, use your Shift & S keys on your keyboard  and your Re-Size menu will open. Set your size to what you will need it for where ever you are using it. Click Ok.

Now go to File, click Save As, and save your tag as a gif file.

As always if you have done any of my tutorials I would love to see what you have made, so please feel free to email me and make sure you send your completed tag as well and I will display it on my blog.
