Color #1 - #ec4d00
Color #2 - #330d4d
Color #3 - #7fdb1d

Foreground Color - set to nul

Once you have everything added that you would like, activate your crop tool -

Now you will need to make the same amount of frames that the bottom part of your tag & animation have -
mine has 12 frames.

So use your Ctrl & L keys until your top tag frame has 12 frames.

Once you have 12 frames for your top part of your tag. You will need to select ALL 12 of those frames. Do this the same way you did it for your other frames. Ctrl & A keys.

Now back to your top tag frames - right click in the first frame - then click Copy
Now go to the frames that have the back half of your tag & animation already on them.

Right click in the 1st frame - then click Paste - Into Selected Frame.

Now once the top of your tag appears - make sure you line it up so that it is the same as it was in your PSP.
Once happy with placement - left click to place your tag .

If you are unhappy with the placement of the top part of your tag - click your undo button in your animation shop & try it again.

If you are happy with your tag then all that is left is to re-size it & save it as a GIF file!!♥

I LOVE to design signatures, tags & avatars, I design with PSP, and have been designing for over 2 1/2 years. I will be not only designing signatures, tags & avatars but will also be writing & posting tutorials as well. I will also be making some templates to share with you all as well. So I hope you enjoy and can use everything I have available on my blog :-) If you ever try any of my tutorials,please send me your completed designs and I would love to showcase it here on my blog!
