Thank you Gina for allowing me to use your kit as well as adding me to your Creative Team!

Let us begin,

•     First open your background and foreground papers of choice.
•     Apply Mask to your foreground paper.  Merge Group, Copy and paste onto your background paper.
•     Copy and paste your tube where you would like
•     Add elements as desired.  I have used NH Botanical Flower 4, NH Branch 3,  NH Double tag 3, NH Fabric Leaves deco 1 and NH Scarecrow 4.  Resize and place as desired.
•     Add all wording (I Have used a gradient glow on my tag by changing the green glow setting in Eye Candy Impact 5 to a white)
•     Add all copyrights
•     Resize tag as desired.
•     Hide background and mask layers.
•     Merge Visable (This should merge your elements, tube and wording.)
•     Hide Elements layer
•     Unhide bacground and mask layer.
•     make sure in the layers palette layer you are selected on the mask layer
•     Go into your Xenofix and apply the following settings: (remember the seed number does not matter right now)

•     Copy Merged
•     Paste into Animation Shop as a new animation
•     **Back in PSP UNDO constellation
•     Now go back to the Effects panel and redo the effect, hitting the random seed button to change the placement of the stars
•     Copy Merged
•     Paste AFTER the current frame** (Redo from ** to **  at least 2 more times.  I will assume you have done it 2 more times for a total of 4 frames for the remainder of this tut)
•     Back in PSP HIDE Mask and background layers and UNHIDE the tube layer
•     Copy
•     Paste into Animation shop as a new animation. Now hit CTRL+L 3x this will give you a total of 4 frames just like the other animation. (If you have more then 4 just add the extras by hitting Ctrl+L once more for each layer)
•     Now CTRL+A (Select all) Ctrl+C (Copy)
•     Click on the mask layer
•     CTRL + A (Select all) and then CTRL+E Paste and click where you would like the layer placed
•     Run and Save Animation =)
