You will need:
Paint Shop Pro
Animation Shop
DBS-Flux - Bright Noise
Xenofex2 - Constellation
Frame style mask. I used one from Zuzzanna
Brush from
Obsidian Dawn. Curtain
brush supplied
here
Tube and close up image of choice. I'm using Barbara Jensen.
She is a licensed artist, and you can purchase her tubes
here
Two fonts of choice
Load your brush and mask into your chosen folders. Open a
new canvas of 500 x 500 flood filled with white. Add a new
layer and flood fill with a bright colour from your tube.
Load the mask, invert selected, click ok, and merge group.
Add DBS-Flux Bright Noise, intensity 30.
Open your close up image. Take your selection tool and
select the inside of the box of your mask. Copy your close
up and paste as a new layer. Resize as you require to fill
the selection. Invert and hit delete to remove any
overspill. Select none and change the blend mode to
Multiply.
New layer. Select your brush tool and the
curtain brush, size 346 (or whatever size you need to fit in that
box). Change your foreground to white, and apply your brush
to the top of the box (see my finished tag), clicking about 4
times in the same place. Duplicate twice
to so you have 3 layers of this. On the top one apply Xenofex 2 - Constellation with the following settings:

Apply to the
other two layers hitting random seed once on each.
Add you tube,
with a drop shadow of choice. Then add your copyright, name,
and any messages. I'm using 'Merry Christmas'.
Hide the
bottom two of your constellation layers, copy merged, and paste
over into Animation Shop. Back in PSP, hide the top
constellation, and unhide the next one down. Copy merged and
paste after current frame in Animation Shop. Repeat with the
final Constellation. Animate and save as a gif.

You are done. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Merry
Christmas to you all.
