 ANIMATION:

Starting at the top, close off all your layers down to but excluding the purple pot and merge visible, close off this merged layer, open the previously closed ones and again merge visible.

Open Simone’s animation in Animation Shop and resize it 60%, you will see it has 22 frames. 

Copy your bottom merged layer and paste it in Animation Shop, duplicate it so it has 22 frames the same as the animation, copy all the animation frames and paste them on your merged layer, copy the top merged layer of your tag and again paste in Animation Shop, duplicate as before and paste on your animated tag. 

Run your tag through the Animation Wizard and save as a gif.
