ANIMATING

 

Close all layers EXCEPT background, dots, and stripes

Copy Merged

 

AS

Open snow animation of choice

 

Paste your copy merged tag as new animation

CTRL+L until you have the same number of frames as your chosen snow animation

 

Select All

Copy Snow

 

Click on top of tag

Select All

Paste Into Current Frame

(depending on your chosen snow animation, you may have to paste the snow a few times to cover canvas)

 

Back to PSP

Close the oopen layers and open all the closed layers

Copy Merged

 

AS

Paste As New Animation

CTRL+C

 

Click on "Propagate Paste" button in tool bar at top of AD (looks like sheets of paper)

 

Click on top of tag

CTRL+E

Click in center of tag

(I find that enlarging the tag slightly makes this easier and as long as you do not move your mouse it will be automatically centered)
