ANIMATION:

Open the snow animation and your tag in Animation Shop.  You will see the snow animation has 10 frames so you need to duplicate your tag until that also has 10 frames.  Select all the animation frames and copy them, activate your tag frames, again select them all, right click on the first one and “Paste into selected frame” and position the snow over the tag.  When done, run your tag through the Optimization Wizard and save as a gif.
