       [size=12pt]I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should
       be able to create this tag in all versions.
       I am assuming you have some knowledge of how PSP and Animation
       Shop work.
       Supplies needed:
       A tube of choice.  I’m using one by Mashi

       Font of choice.  I've used Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
       Plugins:
       Graphics Plus - Peacock
       penta.com - VTR
       Eye Candy 5 Impact - Gradient Glow
       DSB Flux - Bright Noise

       You can play around with the top three numbers until you get a
       pattern you like :)
       4.  Duplicate this layer twice, to give you a total of three.
       On the first layer, using your Magic Wand, click a white area in
       your pattern.
       Selections - Modify - Select Similar with the following
       settings:
  HTML http://images16.fotki.com/v388/photos/5/1294515/8684281/PeacockSelectSimilar-vi.jpg
       Apply DSB flux with an Intensity of 30 and press Mix once.  Keep
       selected.
       Highlight your next Peacock layer and apply DSB flux again,
       making sure to press Mix a couple of times.
       Highlight your final Peacock layer and apply DSB flux again,
       pressing Mix a couple more times.
       Selections - Select None.
       Hide the top two Peacock layers.
       5.  Highlight your top layer and create a Custom Selection using
       the following settings:

       6.  Add a new Raster layer and flood fill it with Dark Grey
       (#202020).  Selections - Select None.
       7.  On the same layer, apply penta.com - VTR with the following
       settings:

       8.  Duplicate this layer.  Image - Flip.  Merge these two layers
       together.

       settings:
  HTML http://images108.fotki.com/v191/photos/5/1294515/8684281/PeacockGradientGlow-vi.jpg
       9.  Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, move it into
       position and add a drop shadow of choice.
       10.  Add a new raster layer and move it above all your other
       layers.
       Flood fill with white.

       Press Delete on your keyboard.
       Selections - Select None.
       11.  Add your name, copyright and any license numbers necessary.
       Now onto the Animation
       12.  Make sure you only have one Peacock layer open.  Edit -
       Copy Merged.
       Paste this as a new animation in Animation Shop.
       10.  Return to Paint Shop.  Hide that Peacock layer and open the
       next one layer.  Edit - Copy Merged.
       Paste this after your first frame in Animation Shop.
       16.  Return to Paint Shop.  Hide that Peacock layer and open
       your final Peacock layer.  Edit - Copy Merged.
       Paste this after your second frame in Animation Shop.
       17.  In Animation Shop, Edit - Select All.  Then go to Animation
       - Frame Properties and change the number to 15.
       View your animation and, if you're happy, save as a .gif.
       And you're done :)
