Copy and paste a paper of choice above the white background layer. Apply the mask to this layer. Delete the mask layer and merge group. Resize if needed.

Add any copyrights and your name. Crop and resize if desired.

To Animate: if you are leaving it like it is, save as a PNG (close white background layer first).

Open Animation Shop.

In PSP find the candle layer, select it, duplicate it 4 times. You should have a total of 5 candle layers. Close off all candle layers but the top one. Select the Warp tool, select the Push mode, set the size to around 32, now take the Warp tool and “push” the candle flame until its how you like it. Once your happy with that move on to the next layer below it and “push” in the other direction. Repeat this with the other layers except for the one we duplicated, the original.

Close off all layers of the duplicated candle except of the original. Copy MERGED, in Animation Shop paste as a new animation.

Back to PSP, close that layer and open the top duplicated candle. The rest should be close this is the only candle layer open. Copy MERGED, and paste AFTER CURRENT FRAME. Copy the first frame and paste after the last frame we added. Now you should have 3 frames total.

Back to PSP, and close off the open candle and open the next one down. Copy MERGED, back to Animation Shop and paste AFTER CURRENT FRAME. Repeat this for the remaining candle layer. I changed the frame display time to 8 in the frames.

Check and see how it looks, like it? AWESOME!! Save as a .gif.
