Let's start!

Remember to add a drop shadow to your elements and tube :  I use the filter 3D Shadom-Lokas Software, it's great and free!

1. Open your template and delete the Credits layer. Close all the others except the "Background" layer.
Open another layer above the background and with "Yvette_RockRevolution_Paper10" that you can recolor if needed-> Open the mask "MelyCuties_mask3" in PSP. Apply your mask. Mask -> New -> From a picture -> Ok

Then copy and paste your mask twice as a new image as we will use it 3 times.
Just change the color of these 2 masks -> Colors-> Colorize. Then Masks -> Delete.
1st Copy paste the new layer mask on the template and move it up a little.
Copy and paste as new layer the 2nd mask and then -> Images-> Mirror and you will see this:

2. Open your scrapkit and take the "Yvette_RockRevolution_Record1 and 2"
Copy paste as new layer and position as I did; see my result above.
Go to the "Yvette_RockRevolution_Record1" and apply an effect-> Filter-> Filter Alien Eye Candy 5 impact-> Glass
With the following configurations:

Do the same for the 2nd disc.

3. Take the "Yvette_RockRevolution_MusicNote1, 2 and 3"
and apply an effect-> Filter-> Filter Alien Eye Candy 5 Impact-> Glass with the following configurations:
Click on the Basic tab and set as below. The other settings do not change.


Copy paste as new layer and place them like me, see my result above.

4. Activate layer "frame1", add a colour or a background of your choice by doing -> Selections-> Select All-> Selection-> Make floating-> Selection-> calling the static condition.

And apply an effect-> Filter-> Filter Alien Eye Candy 5 Impact-> Glass with the same configurations used for the music notes but change the Bevel Width and enter-> 4.92.

Do the same on  "frame2" layer but change the configuration on the Lighting tab -> Direction 71 -> 71 Inclination -> Highlight B 75 -> 75 S Highlight Reflection Map-> None

5.Go to the layer "Background frame1" and put a background of your choice.  I used the same background as my mask.
Lower the opacity of this layer to: 64 Do the same for your "Background frame2"layer.

6. Open your tubes and place them like me or to your liking you - Do not forget the drop shadow on all your elements and tubes!

7. Merge visible your layers and with your selection tool  select and cut the center of your tag a bit and copy paste as new image. Return to your tag and click on Back to re-open all the layers.

Open your element "Yvette_RockRevolution_Wordart1 "do-> Selection-> Select All-> Selection-> Float-> Selection-> Defloat.
Put this piece in the foreground and fill your wordart1. Add a-> Filter-> Filter Alien Eye Candy 5 Impact-> Glass.

Then resize to 60% copy and paste as new layer on your tag.
Effects -> Filter-> Filter Alien Eye Candy: Nature-> Corona with the following configurations:

Settings->Text, 100pt, White Corona

And place it like me in my result above.
Copy your WordArt without the corona effect and paste it on the layer with the corona effect and give it a drop shadow
Add your credits and all the drop shadows if not yet done. Do not merge your layers

**************************************

We are going to animate the records.
Take the first record and copy and paste it in Animation shop.
 Effects-> Insert an effect on an image with the following configurations:

You should have 7 images.
Take the 2nd record into Animation Shop and repeat what you did, with the same configurations but reverse the animation -> Animation-> Reverse the order of images.
Return to your PSP and close all the layers from the top down to the 3rd mask and merge your layers.
Copy and paste in Animation Shop.

In Animation Shop duplicate this image 6 times to have 7 images.

 Edit-> select all then on the records do the same-> Edit-> Select All.
Copy paste your records on your tag as my result above.

And you should have this:

Back in PSP, close the merged image and the 2 record layers. Open all the others and merge visible.
You should see this:

Copy and paste in Animation Shop and duplicate this picture 6 times -> Edit-> select all and copy paste it on your recurds.

That's it! Your animation is done!
Save your tag as a gif.

And here is another result :
