 Open your tube, Shift+D, and close the original.  Increase the canvas around the tube.  Make it as large as you want, we can crop later.  I'm increasing mine to 600x600.

 

Now select your rectangle preset tool, and choose colours from your tube in your pallet.  We are going for a gradient effect, so choose two matching colours, Darker in foreground and lighter in background.  Now in your background, change to gradient, and choose foreground-background, with these settings.

Close off the foreground.  Hide your tube, and then on a new layer, draw out a rectangle, about 11 squares high.  Convert to raster, then draw out another rectangle, same length, but about two squares high.  Convert to raster, duplicate and flip.  Line the top one about one square distance from the large rectangle.  Draw out a final rectangle, this time one square high.  Convert to raster, duplicate.  Line these bottom three one square apart.  Merge visible.  You should have something like this.

Add a new layer, flood fill with white, and move to the bottom.  On the rectangles you have just made add a drop shadow H & V = 0, Opacity 45, and Blur 8.

 

Unhide your tube now, and position and resize to your liking.  Add a new layer, and position above the your white background.  Flood fill with a bright/dark colour from your tube.  Apply your mask, merge group.  Using your pick tool, pull in the sides to position the mask behind your rectangles.

 

On your tube, add the same drop shadow as before.  Add your copyright.  Now add any text your wish.  I'm writing 'Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!' a couple of times across the top rectangle.  Add the same drop shadow.  Add your name.  Crop your tag.

 

Now take your rectangle selection tool, and select around your large rectangle.  Then copy and paste as a new animation into Animation Shop.

 

Effect/Insert Text Effect.  Apply these settings, and adjust your 'customise' setting to have your text appear across the lighter segment.  I set mine to 80.  You may need to change this if your made the rectangle bigger or small than mine.

You should now how 13 frames.  Go back to Paint Shop Pro.  Select none.  Hide the tube and name, and copy merged.  Paste as a new animation.  Duplicate your frames until you have the same amount as your animation.  Select all.  On your animation, select all, copy.  Then back on your tag and pasted into selected frames.  Line it up over the original large rectangle.  Undo if you do it wrong and paste again.  Back in Paint Shop Pro, unhide tube and name, and hide the rest.  Copy merged, and paste in Animation Shop.  Duplicate to match your animation.  Select all, copy, then on your animation, paste into selected frames.  Change your frame properties to 20, animate, and save as a gif.
