 Let's Begin! 

Open paper 1, resize by 28%, apply your choice of round mask, add a new layer to flood-fill white, and send to the bottom; save.

If you are using the mask I am, I resized to 1000 widths before applying the mask. You will rework this layer later.

Open the frame, resize by 40% and add to the canvas; center align.

Open paper 1, resize by 20% and replace the frame opening.

Open the camera, resize by 25%, and then add to the bottom of the frame.

Open the foliage, resize by 30% and add below the camera layer; rotate by -16.39. I then rotated the original and add one at the bottom of the frame.

Open the title, resize by 30% and position over the camera layer.

Open flower 1, resize by 25% and add above the foliage layer and position near the camera. Duplicate, mirror and then add to the opposite side of the camera.

Open flower 2, resize by 20% and add below the flower 1 layer (both places).

Open the string, resize by 20% and add above the lower foliage.

Open the tape, mirror, resize by 40% and add above the lower foliage layer.

Open the tab, resize by 30% and add above the right side foliage.

Open the tube, resize by 70% and add above the frame layer. Drop shadow and remove excess from the bottom.

Go back to the mask layer. Pull this to the upper left hand side. Duplicate, mirror and merge. Duplicate again, flip and then merge all layers.

I inverted by background to black so that I could see where to crop. Resize, if needed, before adding your name and copyright. Upload to enjoy.

To animate: Open Animation Shop 3. Open the flash. Since it has 6 frames to it, we'll need six frames of our design. However, I want it slightly bigger so I need to resize first.

Edit > Select All > Animation > Resize > 150 > ok.

In PDN: Edit > Select All > Copy Merged > into AS3 as a new animation. This is frame 1.

In AS3: Left click on image to get drop down menu. Scan up to paste and add either before or after frame (doesn't matter). Do this until you have 6 frames.

Go back to the animation. Edit > Select all > copy > to the design > edit > select all > paste > into selected frame > move into position > paste and click.

Left click on the image and scan up to view animation to see if it is to your liking. Use Shift + Z to add your optimization settings. Upload to a photo sharing site to enjoy.
