*** Image and a gif movie

Needs   Here

you can use your own image or Gif movie

you can find them on google

This is a heavy tutorial

For the animation is my advice to work with the keys on your keyboard

1/ Open the image and the pattern.

Minimize the pattern for a while we'll start working on the image

2/ Adjust  / Hue and saturation

3/ Set foreground to#FE9400

4/ Image  / Add borders /Same color as foregroundcolor

9/ Invert selection and fill with the foreground color

10/Selection /  Select none

11/ Magic wand

12/  Now click in the light orange section, see the hand

13/ Layer / New layer

14/ Activate the pattern / Copy .

15/ Activate the tag

16/ Edit / Paste  /Paste in selection

17/ Put the layer on  overlay

17 a/ Selection /  Select none

19/ Draw a nice square and make sure it stays inside the lines

Start 3 pix in the middle of the border

20/Now draw the same square on the right side

21/ Layer / Convert to rasterlayer ( if its on a vector layer )

22/ Now duplicate this layer.

23/ This is what you should have

24/Layer  / Merge visible

25/ Layer  / New rasterlayer

26/ Set foreground as background color.

27/Text tool ( Ton the keyboard)    and write your name between the squares

29/Merge the layers now.

30/ File save as jpeg( keep the compression below 11 otherwise it will turn very ugly)

31/ Open the gif movie and open the tag

Now pay attention !!!!!!

32/ Your gif movie is 33 screens, see screen===>

33/ What we need to to is make our tag also 33 frames

34/ Activate the tagframe (just click on the grey )

35/ Edit  / copy ( Ctrl     C)

36/ Edit  / paste after active frame( or easier Ctrl      Shift     L )

37/ So like the screens show.33  frames of the movie and  33 of the tag

!!!!!38/ Move the tag to  frame 1 ( so frame first!!      = F:1)!!!!!

40/Your tagframe is still active, lets select all frames= Ctrl  + A

Or  edit / select all

41/ Now do the same with the gifmovie( select all Ctrl +a)

42/ Your gifmovie is stil active  so copy it (i'll do ctrl C )

43/ Now activate the tag and Ctrl  E ( or edit / paste in selected frame )

Hhe first part of the move is hanging on your mouse  and you can place it between the squares easy

The other 32 parts will be fallling into place between the orher frames without you doing anything.

42/Do the same for the right square

43/ This is what you should have ( if you did everything right:))

44/ Want to know if everything went right just click this button and a preview screen will open.

45/If you thing its to slow or to fast, you can adjust that like this

Select all frames/ Ctrl A  /animation / properties for frames

The higher the number the slower the animation

Are you satisfied? than you can save

Aile / save as( F 12)

Name the tag and press save

That wasnt a easy one right?:))
