METHOD.
You need a good knowledge of PSP.
Open all the images and tubes in PSP and minimize them.

Open a new transparent image size 400 x 400 pixels.
Fill with white.
Add a new raster layer.
Selections --> Select All.
Copy and paste the image into the selection.
Reduce the layer opacity to 60% in the Layers palette.
Deselect.
 

Open the 'vrouw'- tube.
Copy and paste as a new layer.
Drag it somewhat to the left, but keep part of the boat still visible.

Open the 'eye' - tube.
Copy and paste as a new layer.
Reduce the layer opacity to 50%.

Resize the 'candle'- tube to 55%.
Sharpen 1x.

Copy and paste as a new layer.
Drag it to the bottom right.
Apply a drop shadow:
5 / 5 / 60 / 6 color black.
Merge all layers.

Add a 1 pixel black border.
Add a 10 pixel white border and select with the Magic Wand.
Fill with a gold pattern.
Apply a metallic inner bevel.

Add a new raster layer.
Activate the Text tool.
Find the 'Chiness Style'-font, size 40 ( or your own choice)
Type 'Feng Shui' in a gold pattern.
Repeat the same inner bevel as before.

The tag is finished.
You can add a burning flame animation to it if you want to.
The 'candle-klein-3fr.mng' - image in the zip file
contains the flames for the candles and must be opened in AS.

Resize to 400 pixels in width.

 

ANIMATION.
Open Animation Shop- standard in PSP 9.
Click on the yellow file-icon to open the files.
Find the 'etoile 9'animation image.
It contains 8 frames.
Go to Edit --> Select All.
Edit --> Copy.
Leave it for now.

Open PSP again and copy the image that you have just made.
Paste it as a New Animation into AS.

You will need 8 frames to fit the etoile animation.
To do that: go to Edit --> Duplicate Selected.
Duplicate it until you have enough frames of your own image.
If you have more than 8 just click on the extra frames - one by one
and delete them.

Drag your image out to reveal all the frames.
Go back to frame 1 of the image.
Edit --> Select All.
Edit --> Paste into Selected Frames.
The etoile animation will cling to the mouse pointer now.
Position it where you want it and then just click on the spot in the frame.
Click on the animation icon to view the animaton.

Click on the animation icon again when you want to close it.
This way you can add several animations to the image, if you want to.
 

Go to File --> Optimization Wizard.
Go through all the steps.
The second window that opens looks like this:

Click on 'Customize'

Choose these options below in the window that opens:


Now you can save your image as a GIF file
with a name of your choice :)

You're finished !

Have fun !!
