In this tutorial I used the gorgeous tube “Valyria
and the Dragon” by

Abbey Dawn.

This tube comes with some fabulous layers and
can be purchased at

Elegance Fly.

The matching kit “Valyria” is from

Hania Designs.

This is a gorgeous fairytale kit which includes
the animation

Sophisticated Simone

and can also be purchased at

ANIMATION:

Open Simone’s
animation in Animation Shop and resize it 80%. 
Copy your tag and paste it in Animation Shop as a new animation.  Simone’s animation has 16 frames so you need
to duplicate your tag until it also has 17%. 
Select all the animation frames and copy them, select all your tag frames,
click on the first frame, right click and “paste into selected frame” to paste
the animation onto your tag.  Now go back
into Paint Shop and copy your tag again, click on the first frame of your
animated tag, right click and “paste before selected frame”, go to Animation –
Frame Properties and change the display time on this frame to 100.    Now run your tag through the Animation
Wizard and save as a gif.
