Swing Lil' Bear

Part 2
 

Now unhide these 2 layers. Make sure that you have the copy of bear activated.
 
  
 
Go to Image>Rotate.
 
  
Go to Effects>Sharpen>Sharpen.
Use the mover tool to move the bear, and the zoom tool (to make sure that the top part of the string, will line up slightly under your Text layer.)  You can Un-X the one that we just merged to check to see if it is in line, but make sure that you X it out before merging these 2 layers.
 
Go to Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.
X that merged layer out.
 
Un-X these 2 layers, making sure that you have the copy of bear activated.
 
 
 
Go to Image>Rotate.
(In the opposite direction as we did before.)
 
 
 
Go to Effects>Sharpen>Sharpen.
Use the mover tool to move the bear, and zoom in to make sure that the top part of the string will line up
 slightly under your Text layer.  (You can Un-X the first one that we merged together to check, but make sure that you X it out before merging these 2 layers.)
Go to Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.
 
 
If you copied the heart to a new layer on page one, unhide that layer and go to File>Save As and name it small heart.
X that layer out.
 
Now Un-X all 3 merged layers.
 
 
 

Go to File>Save As and name it.

~~~~~~
 
Open Animation Shop.
Go to File and open Swinging Bear.
Edit>Select All>Animation>Frame Properties>30 to 40 (whichever you prefer.)
Go to File>Open>small heart. 
Click on the progagate paste tool.
 
 
 
Go to>Edit>Copy. 
Now, click on the first bear layer to activate.  Go to Edit>Select All>Edit>Paste into selected frames, and position the heart slightly over the top of the string, but not completely hiding it.
(This will help cover lil' boo-boos, in case you didn't get the string lined up exactly as you wanted!) *lol*
Now you're ready to crop & save!
You can resize the final results, add a drop shadow and white background. 
Have fun!  (When resizing, make sure that you export all frame to PSP and sharpen.) 
Export back to AS and save.
