ANIMATION:

You should have 2 layers: tag layer and flower/vine layer. Select your vine layer. Open up Animation shop. On your Vine layer: Effects>Xenofex2 Constellation> with these settings:

Star Size = 2.42 Size Variation = 1 Edge Density = 1 Overall star density = 0 Overdrive = 73 Twinkle Amount = 62 Rotation = 45 Keep Original checked. Ok.

Edit> copy MERGED In Animation shop: Paste as a new animation Back in PSP: Ctrl Z on your keyboard. Apply your Constellation again but hit the random seed button once. All others stay the same. Ok. Edit> Copy MERGED In Animation Shop: Edit>Paste after Selectioned frame. Back in PSP: Ctrl Z again and repeat the Constellation hitting the random seed again. Copy Merged. Apply it in Animation Shop once again.

Once you have all the screens you want to make with a minimum of 3, In Animation Shop: Ctrl A on your keyboard (this selects all the new screens at the same time) Then go to Animation>Frame Properties> and change the speed to 20. Save as a Gif and you are done!
