       [size=12pt]I've created this in PSP9 and I would assume it can
       be created in all versions.
       You'll also need some knowledge of working with layers and of
       Animation Shop.
       Supplies needed:
       A tube of choice. I'm using one by Barbara Jensen
  HTML http://www.eroticartistgallery.com
       , available to purchase from
       her store
  HTML http://www.barbarajensentubes.com
       .
       Do not use the same tube without the appropriate license.
       Scrap kit of choice.  I'm using a PTU kit, Timeless Elegance by
       CrazyCarita Scraps
  HTML http://crazycarita.blogspot.com.au/,
       
       also available from Barbara's store.
       Font of choice.  I'm using Inspiration.
       Animation of choice.  I'm using one by Simone at Scrappy Bit of
       Fun
  HTML http://scrappybitoffun.blogspot.com.au/.
       
       I've used SimoneAni35_CitrusGlow for this tag.
       Plugins:
       Eye Candy Impact - Gradient Glow (optional)
       1.  Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels.
       Select a paper from your kit and paste as a new layer (I used
       pp9 from my kit)
       2.  Add your tube and move it into position, resizing if
       necessary.
       Apply a drop shadow of choice.
       3.  Add any elements you like around your tag, resizing and
       adding drop shadows as necessary.
       I've used el7, el13, el18, el2 and el27 in my tag.
       4.  Add your name, copyright and license number (if necessary).
       I've also made sure to credit the scrap kit maker.
       5.  Add a new raster layer and move it to the top (if it's not
       already there).
       Flood fill with black.
       Selections - Select All.  Selections - Modify - Contract by 2.
       Press delete on your keyboard.
       Selections - Select None.
       If you don't want to animate, save your tag as a jpeg here.
       Otherwise, continue on.
       6.  Hide all the layers on your tag that you want above the
       animation.
       Edit - Copy Merged.
       Go over to Animation Shop and paste as a new animation.
       7.  While you're in Animation Shop, open up your animation of
       choice.
       Have a look to see how many frames there are - mine had 27.
       Go back to your tag, and duplicate the frame until you have the
       same number of frames as your animation.
       8.  Highlight the first frame on your tag.
       Edit - Select All.
       9.  Go back to your animation.  Highlight the first frame.
       Edit - Select All.
       I'm not sure how other people do this, but this is my method
       10.  Make sure you can see the first frame on both your
       animation and tag.
       With your animation active, hold down the left mouse button
       somewhere within your first frame.
       Still with the mouse button held down, drag it across to your
       tag.
       Once you are happy with the position of your animation, release
       the mouse button.
       The whole animation should now have moved across onto your tag.
       11.  View - Animation and check if you are happy with where the
       animation sits.
       If not, you can go to Edit - Undo Drag.  You'll have to also go
       to Edit - Undo Drag on your animation,
       then you can repeat the previous step.
       12.  Return to Paint Shop.  Layers - View - Invert.
       Now everything that you wanted above your animation should be
       showing.
       Edit - Copy Merged.
       13.  Return to Animation Shop.  Paste as a new animation.
       Again, duplicate this new animation until you match the number
       of frames.
       Repeat the drag process to move this onto your animated
       background.
       14.  View your animation again and, if you're happy, save as a
       .gif.
       And you're done :)
