Let's begin:

1.) First we are gonna put the bird in the cage--\600X600, EL.48 Copy and Paste = C&P as New Raster Layer = NRL and place in center.

duplicate= dup.-- layer and close for now.

2.) EL. 49 -- Resize = R= 80 X2--sharpen--unsharp mask = Usm.place bird nicely over cage, DS..once happy- move duplicate cage layer above Bird layer.. Tag Reference - TR-- Merge Visible = MV-- all layers, close for now..

900 X 900

3.)  EL 31 --C&P as NRL- place on left side--free rotate==Right 90-- Tag Reference= TR.
4.) With Magic wand, click inside each opening- Sel.- Mod.- Expand 7.
5.) P3---C&P as NRL- invert-on frame layer--delete on paper layer-- crop --opaque --place below frame..DS both .

17.) EL 19--C&P as NRL- place above bottom--move up a bit --DS-Tr
18.) EL 16 -- R = 80% Usm--C&P as NRL- place in front of shoes--Tr-- NO DS-- (Dup. 3 to 4X's--for animation-rename them ring 1,2,3 &4) close these for now.
19.) EL 10 -- R= 80% X2-Usm--C&P as NRL- place behind the cupcakes--DS-
20.) Paper of choice-- -C&P as NRL- add a mask of choice--delete mask--ungroup layer-- crop selection-- opaque if needed.
21.) R-- 56% sharpen-- if you don't want to animate-- open bottom layer--and MV all layers--Add all COPY right info and name save as PNG..
If you want to animate, lets get to it..
22.) Add all COPY right info.-- now close all the ring layers--  open bottom and MV.. all other layers..
23.) Now open Ring 1-- go to Xenofex2--Constellation-- EX.3

these settings--star size = 10.50
Size Variation = 25
Edge Star Density = 19
Overall Star Density = 0
Overdrive = 100
Twinkle Amount = 45
Keep original Image
Random seed = 1
Close out #1, and on all the other layers, the same filter just change the Random seed 1X..
Now open Animation shop. Open the merged layer and starting with 1, Copy merged and paste into animation shop.
PSP--close out #1, open #2 and copy merged and paste after current frame..once you are done, all 4 layers should be in animation shop,as your frames
go to Edit-select all - and go to animation properties--opaque -- white and then keep all 4 frames active- Frame properties 15-- view and when happy save as gif.
I hope you enjoyed this one..

24.) R= all layers 56%-sharpen - Sparkle 2 =-C&P as NRL-- place below the fish layer --place on top--
25.) Add All Copy right info.-- if you don't want to animate- go ahead and merge visible all layers, add your name and save as PNG.
Let's animate
Close out all layers but bottom layer -- open animation shop--
26.) copy merged-- and place as new animation-- dup. the same  # of bubbles--  on bubbles-- click on the first frame--edit -select all - copy and paste  into selected frame--continue to copy and paste - place them around to make tag look good.. once happy go back to PSP.
27.) PSP- close out background==open all other layers and Merge Visible-- copy merged -- in animation shop ---edit -select all- working on your frames--Propagate paste- paste into selected frame- once you are done you should have a total of 6 frames-- go to edit-select all and go to animation and then Frame properties --place it at 15-- when happy view and then save as GIF..

11.) Bubbles 1 =R=30%--USM.---C&P as NRL-Place on left center--DS--TR--dup. R = 80% - move this one down a little--TR
12.) Now if you don't want to animate--go ahead and open bottom layer and then Merge Visible= MV---Resize 56% sharpen--
Add ALL copy rights and name--then save as PNG--
If you want to animate then continue..
Open Animation shop
13.) Close out all layers Below tube -- then MV-- re-name- top
B.) close out A1 and Sw1--MV all layers below--re-name bottom
C.) Sharpen all 3 layers--and add ALL CopyRights and MD to top layer.
14.) Dup. Sw1 2X=3 layers--close out top 2, we're going to add noise first..Rename layers--Sw2 and Sw3
on Sw1-add/remove noise--add noise--Gaussian-30--monochrome checked-close open Sw2- change 30 to 40 and hit Ok--repeat this for Sw3 change 40 - 50--close and open Sw2- we don't need to change Sw1
15.) working with Sw2- free rotate 25-- (EX.9) you want to even them out,like in the EX.--close out
16.)  open Sw3--repeat rotate but change it to Right 25--as in EX. 10- even them out..close out..now open Sw1- make sure your on that layer in layers pallete- Now Copy Merged = CM--and paste into animation shop as New animation--
17.) back in PSP--close Sw1-open Sw2- make sure your on layer 2
CM and paste after current frame= back in PSP--
Close Sw2 and open Sw1-make sure your on that layer
18.) CM -and paste after current frame close Sw1 and open Sw3-make sure your on that layer
19.) CM and paste after current frame-- you should now have 4 frames--
20.) Now go to Edit- select all- animation-animation properties--opaque and change it to white
21.) now with all layers still checked you want to change your frame properties--go to frame properties and change it to 25, now you should have all 4 frames running at 25.. once happy-- view--and then save as gif..
I sure hope you had fun with this tut..like everyone has ever said, this is just a tut on how I did this, you make it yours..As always I sure would love to see what you did..
