To animate:

Merge all the layers, except: the background, the two closeup layers and the middle lines.

Edit - Copy. Open Animation Shop. Paste as a new animation.

Open: breakaway_bymissy. the animation has 12 frames.

You need to duplicate your background until you have 12 frames. 

Select the first frame. Edit - select all.

Activate the sparkle. select the first frame. Edit - select all and drag into the background, place it where you like it.

I place mine in the bottom and center. Back to psp copy the layer with the tube and elements merged. 

Paste as a new animation. Duplicate until you have 12 frames. Drag and drop in your animation and be careful with the borders. 

Now play the animation and if you like it. Save as gif (=
