To animate.

You have 5 layers in the template, called: 

Animated border 1

Animated border 2

Animated border 3

Animated border 4

Animated border 5

If you want apply a chrome or metal effect. 

Add drop shadow:

I have added and extra animation to the one included in the template.

If you do the same, merge the tube and the background.

Copy, Open Animation Shop. Paste as a new animation. Duplicate until you have 25 frames.

Back to psp and hide the layer with the background and tube merged.

Copy merged the layers:

Rectangle

Animated border 1

wordart

frame

name and copyright info.

In animation shop, paste as a new animation. Back to psp, hide the layer: Animated border 1 

and open the next (Animated border 2), copy merged, paste after current frame in animation shop.

Repeat with the layers: Animated border 3, Animated border 4 and Animated border 5.

Activate the first frame and select all:

Edit - Copy. Go to the last frame (number 5)

Edit -  Paste After Current Frame. Now we have 10 frames, select the frame number 10, paste again

do it 2 more times and you will have 25 frames.

Open the animation: coloredraydots-lovey'11.mng. Delete the info frame. You have have 25 frames.

A lil trick to "center" the animation: 

Edit -  Select all the frame. Animation - Reverse Frames.

Carefully drag it into the first frame of the background animation.

Edit -  Select all the frame. Animation - Reverse Frames.

Select the frame with the wordart. Activate the first frame drag it to your main animation and place it.

Play the animation. If you like save and you're done.
