This tutorial was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
The Animation takes a bit of time, but it’s not hard at all!

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up a 700 X 700 transparent image.
Flood fill white.

We’ll create the layer for the mask first.
Flood fill with a dark color of your choice.
I used #3a3b40

Copy and paste the following elements - arranging them as you like:
Moon: Resize 60%
Gates: Resize 90%
Tree 1
Bat 2: Resize 40%

Close out your white canvas.
Merge Visible.
Apply the mask.
Merge Group.
Reopen your canvas.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.

Add your embellishments. I used:
Tree Stump: Resize 80%
Headstone 2: Resize 55%
Headstone 3: Resize 50%
Tree 2: Resize 50%
Ghost 1: Resize 80%
Dead Weed 1 & 2: Resize 50%
Skull 1: Resize 40%
Scattered leaves
Spider 2: Resized to fit in palm

Add your copyrights.

Add your name and place is exactly where you want it.
Copy and paste the word art “Beware”.
Resize 80%
Position behind your name.
Lower the opacity to 0.

Resize all layers 85%
