Lets get started...

• First choose your background paper, I used #8 but you can pick what ever you like.
• Now you are going to PASTE your center of choice as a new layer. I used doodle 3, you could use anthing here the doodles, blings sparkles whatever you want. You may have to strech it to make it fit the way you would like.
• Personally I felt my bacground was to dark so I put it at a 50% transparancy and I added a drop shadow to my doodle. Then I MERGED ALL
• Save this as your base layer.
• Add new RASTER LAYER and then COPY this layer and PASTE it as a new image.
• This will be the beginings of your foreground layer,
• You can choose any of the frames privided or make one of your own, I used the ribbon doodle 1 to make my own frame.
• Add whatever embelishments or tubes you would like to acchieve the look you are going for. With such light colors I always use a drop shadow to make them each stand out a bit more. Layer everything as you would like. I have my tube under the frame and the rest on top of it. Dont forget all wording and copyrights.
• When you have this how you would like it to look open up the Water Reflection program.
• IN this you want to open your BASE layer
• Hit the elips looking thing one the left and select the whole image by left clicking on each corner and then right click to get your ants.

• Using the Rain/Snow you want to make a light rain shower, I used the settings below but you can tweek them he wy you would like.
• 
  
• SAVE this base as a GIF
• Go to Animation shop and open your base, take notice as to how many layers there are.
• Back in PSP COPY Merged everything you have on the frame layer all at once, and PASTE it as a new animation in Animation Shop
• CTRL+ SHIFY + L until your frame layer matches your base layer.
• On the frame Layer CTRL + A to select all and CTRL + C to copy
• on the base layer CTRL + A and then CTRL + E to paste on top of the base, make sure you are centered!

Run your animation and SAVE as a gif
