Open mask in psp and minimize it2. Open the template in psp and copy and close original.Delete the copy write layer.Go to Image and resize the canvas layer to 700x700Flood fill this layer white.3. Select the papers from the kit you will be wishing to use in the templates and copy and close the originals and resize the papers to 400x400.4. Starting on layer 1 (circle layer) duplicate this layer. On the duplicate layer select it in the layer pallet~ select all~ float ~defloat~copy paper of choice and add as a new layer~invert~ hit delete on keyboard ~ select none.5 . select the original duplicated layer and resize it to 110 % and repeat step 3.

Place the firecracker in the right hand corner. Go to edit~ copy special~ copy merge and take to animation shop and place as a new layer. Back to psp ~ Move the firecracker a tad and repeat ~ keep repeating until your firecracker is completely gone, I had 11 frames in all. It just depends on how you want yours to look.View your animation and set your frame properties to whatever you wish~ I set mine to 20~If you like what you have created save as a gif and your done.Thanks for trying my Tutorial!HuggiesSher
