Kim, I used the one I made for you as an example.

1. Make your tag as you normally would with applied text like example below.

2. Make 2 copies so you have 3 images. Set your forground to your pattern or gradient. I used a gradient I made ,Christmas Ribbon.

On your first image set your gradient using these settings... angle 126 - repeats 5

3. You are working with your first image only.. Minimize your other two as you will be using these later.

GO to Image / Add Border / Yes/Symetric checked / 20 /ok.

4.Click on Border with magic wand to select.

5. Fill with your gradient

6. Go to Effects / Plug-in Filters / Greg's Pool Shadow and use the default settings except for change the lightness to 100. Click ok.

This is how it should look now.

7. Effects / Plug - In Filters / *V* Kiwi Oelfilter / videowand and use these setting:

Click Ok. Select none.

save as psp Image1

Bring up your second image and repeats all the steps above with the exception of these:

#5. Change angle to 181 and repeats to 8

as shown..

#7. Use default setting as shown:

Save as psp.Image 2

Bring up Image 3

Repeat all steps with these exceptions:

#5. Change angle to 192 and repeats to 6 as shown:

#7. Use these settings:

Save as psp.Image 3

Open your animation shop . Animation wizard with these all checked:

Same size as first image frame

Transparent

Center in frame

With canvas color

Yes, repeat the animation indefinitely.

How long do you want each frame to be displayed = 10

Add your 3 images

Finish and save as ( name your tag. )

Here is the finished tag.

I hope I haven't made this seem difficult . It is really easy.

Enjoy,
