~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here I will assume you have a General Working Knowledge of both Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop

Making sure you still have your lower two Larger Heart Layers closed off ~ Export your Tag as a .jpeg ~ Close off the Top Larger Heart Layer and Open the one Below ~ Export again as a .jpeg ~ Close the Middle Larger Heart Layer and Open the Bottom one ~ Export your Tag for the Last Time

This is the way I have found best for Myself Personally but do please Remember each Individual has their own way of doing things ~ This is Simply a Guide :)

Head to Animation Shop ~ Animation Wizard ~ Click Next through the Settings until you get to your Animation Looping and Speed ~ Make sure you check "Yes, Repeat the Animation Indefinitely" and set your Speed to 10

Locate and Add the three Images you Exported from Paint Shop Pro and Click through to Finish ~ File ~ Optimization Wizard and Again Click through to Finish ~ File ~ Save

Voila! Your Tag is Complete ~ Giggles
