Lets begin
Remember to save often
Step 1.
I image 600 x 300 fill with your gradient,
name this background,
new raster layer fill with black, name this City
working on the city layer, apply your mask merge group,
give this a drop shadow,
if you use the same as me you can see it looks like evening,
active your background layer,and take you selection tool,
and go round the blue of your gradient, promote to layer select none,
name this sky
Step 2
Copy and paste your tube re-size if necessary,
Adjust, Sharpen and give it a drop shadow.
Place on what side you like, I put mine on the right hand side.
Step 3
Add your embellishments, give them a drop shadow, add your name,
and Happy New Year, on these I did Adjust Noise Uniform 70 Monochrome ticked,
give it a drop shadow, add your copyright
Shift D this is for your AV, put this image to one side
Step 4
Active your sky layer and apply, Alien Skin Xenofex 2 Constellation,
Settings, A Few Small Stars
Random seed 1, open up AS,
and copy merged take to AS paste as a new image, back to PSP
and undo Constellation, redone Constellation hit the Random button,
copy merged take to AS paste after current frame, set the animation at 200.
I set it tis high as want it to look like the stars were twinkling
save as a G.I.F.
Step 5
Back to PSP open up the image you put to one side,
and crop this by150 X 150, using the part of image you want,
add your name and copyright,
