Congratulations, the Globe Tag is finished!

But you can add a cute animation by doing the following:
Go to Animation Shop,
Open your animated pic, ( the butterfly supplied with the materials)
The butterfly is now open in 6 frames.
Go to PSP and duplicate your globe-tag 6 times.

Before you save them read this important note below
Save them in a place where you can easily find them
and name them, for instance, globe 1, globe 2, etc..

VERY IMPORTANT !! PLEASE NOTE:

If you work in PSP 8 this tip is for you.

When you save these images,

go to File --> Save As-->

and in the "Save As"-window opening up,

go down to "Options" and in the window opening,

choose "Save as PSP7-compatable File!"

Currently Animation Shop does not recognize files
that is not PSP7 compatible

and there for won't be able to complete
your animation if you don't choose this option..

Now, with your duplicate globes saved,

go back to Animation Shop, Animation Wizard

Click "Same size as the first image"/ Next.
Click " transparant", color Black / Next.
Click "Upper left corner of the frame" / Next.
Click, "With the canvas color"/Next.
Click "Yes, repeat the animation indefinately" / Next.
Seconds on 30/ Next.
Specify the images that must be loaded
and add your 6 globe images with the 6th globe on the bottom.
All 6 is now loaded in Animation Shop.
Activate the butterfly,

goto Edit, Select All -

all 6 windows must now be framed in blue ( active),
Edit -->Copy .

Activate the globe- tags window.

Go to Edit -- Select All,

and all 6 windows must now have blue frames around it.
Go to Edit -- Paste --> in selected frame -->
Place the butterfly in position and click.
If everything worked out well,
each globe tag will now have a butterfly in.
Click on the "view animation" - icon on the top right toolbar of Animation Shop.
If you're satisfied, click on the animation icon again to stop the animation.
Save your animation. You can now open it via File,
Open. You know the rest already.
