Create a canvas 1000 x 1000; open frame 2, resize by 45% and then add to the canvas. Open paper 10, resize by 20% and add to the opening. Use paper 14 with the mask; pull to the corner for coverage and save.

Open the branch, resize by 23% and add above all layers, positioning at the bottom. Duplicate, move one layer to under the frame and DS the upper layer. Erase excess off of both layers after DS.

Open the cardinal, resize by 40% and add above the upper branch layer. Open bow 2, resize by 35% and add above the frame layer.

Open rosette 4, resize by 25% and add above the frame paper (lower right). Open rosette 2, resize by 15% and add in two places.

Open rosette 1, resize by 20% and add to the left. Open button 1, resize by 65% and add above the rosette 1 layer.

Open the snow overlay, resize by 24% and add over the paper layer; add a DS to highlight it slightly. Crop as closely as you can near the mask layer (invert background if need be).

Resize and then add ten (10) frames into AS3. Open the falling snow animation: edit > select all > copy > return to design > edit > select all > paste > into selected frame >position > ok.

Click on the first animated frame and copy. Place this as a new image in PDN, delete the one in AS3 and start again until all frames are in the new image and save under your filename.

Copy ONLY the frame paper from your static design and use this to delete all the excess from the lower layers in your animated design.

Copy merge the frame paper and mask layer together, add it to your animated design and then send to the bottom; save.

Add your name and copyright now. Resize, if need be. Add to AS3 again, apply your optimization settings and save. Upload to a photo sharing site to enjoy.
