Check your layers and make any adjustments, then crop your tag and add your copyright information and text.

ANIMATION:

Starting at the bottom, close off all layers up to the tube which is inside the window element and merge visible, close off this merged layer, open the previously closed ones and again merge visible.

Open the rain animation in AS and resize it 30%. 

Copy your bottom merged layer and paste it in AS as “a new animation” then duplicate it until you have 15 frames which is the same as the rain animation.  Select all the rain animation frames, copy them and paste them on the tube on your tag.  Now copy your top merged layer from Paint Shop, paste in AS  “as a new animation”, duplicate it a before, select all the frames, copy them and again paste on your tag. 

Run your animation through the Optimization Wizard and save as a gif.
