Open Frame 22 RS 60% sharpen and place below element 129 move it towards the left of your frame and move slightly down so you can see some of it around the edge of your Main Frame - duplicate and move it towards the right of your side frame - no DS on either of these 

10.
Now let’s Work above our tag (so right above our Main Tube Layer, it should be your first layer in your Layers Palette!)

Open paper 45 RS by 750 pixels-sharpen paste as New layer make sure it is above your white layer 
Load mask - I used mask 0032 by Vivienne 
Merge group and RS by 95 % 

If you would not like to animate - 
Delete your white background layer - crop away any excess canvas - add your copyrights and save tag as PNG/JPG and then add name ! 

OPTIONAL:
If you would like to animate then well let’s go !!
 Everyone animates differently this is how I do it but if you have another way then go your own way heehee!! 

In PSP 
Highlight your copyright layer -
Layers - View Current Only 
Then check all your elements/frames/mask under Main Tube to make them visible 
Highlight your white background layer 
Edit - Copy Special - Copy Merged 

Open Animation Shop 
Edit - Paste as New Animation 
Using CTRL + L duplicate your frame until their is 25 of them ( just as the animation has 25 frames !) 
Edit - Select All 
Now - 
Open Animation 650 from RebelDezignsAnimation-Package-216 
Edit- select all
Edit - copy
edit - propagate paste 
Click back on your tag 
 Edit - Paste into selected frame 
place where you would like 
( I copy and pasted mine twice - one to the left and one to the right ) 

Back to PSP 
Highlight Main Tube Layer - layers view current only 
Then check all your elements above Main Tube also to make them visible 
Edit - Copy Special - Copy Merged 

Back to AS 
edit paste into selected frame 
And you are finished !
