Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using a tube by Anna Marine .
This tube is available at
CDO

I am also using the PTU scrap Haunting Halloween by Rebel Dezigns
which can also be purchased at CDO.

Open a 700x700 new image.
Open up your tube and scrap supplies.
Copy and paste your tube as
a new layer.

Open a tombstone element.
Paste as a new layer. Position
this layer behind your tube on the
right side.

Open leaves element ( laying down flat)
Mirror the leaves & paste between the two
layers. Position at the bottom of your tube.

Add a drop shadow to your tube and
tombstone layers. 2,2,50,5 black.

Open a cauldron element. Resize 60%.
Paste underneath the leaves layer on the
left side of your tag. You want it to appear t
be "on" the leaves.

Open a tree element.
Paste on the bottom layer behind the cauldron
layer. Add a drop shadow to the cauldron.

Open a hanging light. Resize 30%. Paste on
the tag. Position so it appears to be hanging from
a tree branch.

Open a barb wire element.
Paste on the bottom layer of the tag.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer.
Make sure it is on the bottom layer of the tag.
Apply the mask Becky mask022.
Merge group.

Copy and paste a wordart of choice.
I am using one which comes with the scrap.
Position on your tag near the bottom.

Merge layers.
Crop to desired size.
Add artist copyright information & name.

To animate, put a white background on the bottom
layer of the tag.

In Animation shop, open animation of choice.

Copy your tag as copy merged. Now go to Animation shop
and paste as a new animation.
Duplicate for the required number of frames
as your animation has.

For the animation I am using, it has 21
frames. This means I have to duplicate
the tag image for a total of 21 frames.
To duplicate, hold down Ctrl and repeatedly
press the L button.
Down on the bottom right corner of AS,
it will show how many frames you have.

Once you have all the frames needed,
edit - select all.
Now on your animation, select all - copy.
Drag onto your tag image.
Select all - view animation.
If happy, save as gif.
