Now if you don’t want to animate it just crop, resize if desired and save as a png. If you are animating read on…lol.

Okay, for animation… copy all layers merged.

Open Animation Shop and the snow animation included in my supplies. Paste as a new animation in Animation Shop. Duplicate 20 times. Make sure you have all layers selected. Also make sure all layers are selected in the snow animation.

Go to Edit and select Propagate Paste.

Drag the first frame off the snow into the first frame of the tag. Do this until you have the tag covered. You may have to Undo the snow animation so you can copy it again.

Go to View and select Animation, if your happy with it save as a .gif.
