Grab your freehand tool and draw around the balloon and the string like this.
Go to Edit / Copy and than Edit / Paste as aNew Layer. You should have a balloon by itself now. Go to Selections / Select None. Now move your copy of the balloon with the mover tool up above the other balloon. Rename Layer 3 Balloon 1. Now x out the balloon and highlight layer one again and take the eraser tool and erase the balloon and string that is attached to the bear. Rename this layer Balloon Bear 1 and move it above Balloon 1.  Now x out Full Balloon layer and Balloon Bear 1 and highlight Balloon 1.  Go to Edit/ Copy, Edit/ Paste as a New Layer. Now move that Balloon above the other Balloon a bit. Rename Balloon 2and move it above Balloon Bear 1.  Now x out all your layers except Full Balloon and make sure it is highlighted. Go to Edit / Copy, Edit / Paste as a New Layer. X out the Full Balloon and higlight layer 4 and erase the balloon as before. Rename Balloon Bear 2 and move it above Balloon 2. Now x out all your layers again except Full Balloon. Copy and Paste as before. X out the Full Balloon and erase the Balloon as before and rename this Lonely Bear and move it above Balloon Bear 2. Repeat  this step, Rename it Lonely Bear 2 and move it above Lonley Bear.

Now x out all layers again and highlight Balloon 1. Copy and Past as New Layer. Rename this Balloon 3. Now this is the tricky part. I unexed balloon 2 and placed balloon 3 on top of it but make sure balloon 3 is highlighted before you move it. Now move ballon 3 above Lonely Bear 2.

Now go back to balloon 1 and copy and paste as before and place the copy on top of balloon 1. Rename this Balloon 4 and move it above Balloon Bear 3. Now we need to copy and paste the Full Balloon again and erase as before. Rename this Balloon 4.

Now x out all your layers again except the full bear and copy and paste as before. rename this Full Balloon 2 and move it above Balloon Bear. Make sure all your layers are x out except Balloon 1 and Balloon Bear 1. Merge / Merge Visible. Do the same with Balloon and Bear 2 and Balloon and Bear 3 and Balloon Bear 4. Now remove x off all layers. Your layer palette should look like this. I renamed mine.
Now save as Balloon Bear.psp. Remember where you saved it.
We are almost done. Now onto Animation Shop.
Click on Animation Wizard and check smae size as first image. Next. Transparent. Next. Upper left corner of the frame. With the canvas color. Next. Repeat indefinitely. I put 200 in the number box cause we are going to make some changes in a minute. Add image. Find your image. Click on it and open and than Next. Finish.
When you have your animation up clcik on frame 2 and right click and clcik on frame propeties. Change that number to 175. Frame 3, 150. fame 4, 125. frame 5, 100. Frame 6, 90. Frame 7, 80. Leave the last and first frame alone. You can resize your animation if you like. Play your animation and when you have it the way you want it Save.
Hope you enjoyed this rather long tutorial.
