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 -

For my animation it has 12 frames - so I need to make my tag into 12 frames.
To do that, on your keyboard, press your Ctrl & L key until you have exactly 12 frames.

Now click on the first frame in your tag frames. Then use your Ctrl & A keys again to select ALL of your tag frames. (ALL frames of your tags & ALL frames of your animation MUST be selected in order for your animation to work correctly.

Now go to your animation frames - right click in the first frame - then click Copy

Now move your mouse around on your tag WITHOUT clicking until you see a part of your animation visible on the end of your mouse arrow. Once you see that portion of your animation - move your mouse around until you have your animation where you want it to begin. Once you are happy with placement - then left click to place your animation.

I used the exact same animation twice on my tag. So if you wish to do the same - then right click again on your 1st tag frame - then click Paste - Into Selected Frame - now move your mouse around until you see your animation again - once you see it - move your mouse so that your animation is in a different location than your first one. I positioned mine across from my 1st animation.

If your not happy with it, click your undo button and do it again. 
If you are happy with it, go back to your PSP -

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.
