Xero Fritillary

The tube I used Sexy Senior Area (PTE5950) is by Baron Von Lind, you can purchase this tube from PTE here

The name of my font is Honey Script Light

Open a new transparent canvas 700x700, we will resize later

Floodfill with a color of your choice

Apply fritillary changing the top & bottom #'s to 16

Paste your tube as a new layer

Resize as needed

Add drop shadow

Paste your other tube as a new layer

Resize smaller than your first one

I resized mine to 75%

Add drop shadow & position on one side

Duplicate & mirror

Back to your first tube

Duplicate & resize to 65%

Position on lower left side

Duplicate & mirror

Activate your pick tool

Look at the position x on your first duplicated tube

On your 2nd duplicated tube increase the position x by 100 from what the position x is on your 1st duplicated tube

Example: my 1st duplicate tube is at position x 19

I duplicated it & mirrored then changed the position x to 119

Now back to your 1st duplicate tube

Duplicate & increase position x by 200

Back to your 2nd duplicated tube

Duplicate & increase the position x by 200

Keep doing this all the way across

Always go back to the tube on your left & duplicate & increase position x by 200

You should end up with 6 of these

Arrange them in order, the left one on the bottom & the right one on top

Activate your rectangle shape tool

Use both your foreground & background colors, width 8

Draw out a rectangle near the top center of your tag

Add an inner bevel & drop shadow

Resize all layers to 70%

Add your text, name & © info

Animation:

Hide all of your dancing tubes, text & name

Merge visible

Copy & paste into animation shop

Undo your merge

Unhide the left tube & the first word of your text

Merge & paste after current in animation shop

Undo your merge

Hide the left tube & unhide the one above it

Merge visible & paste after current in animation shop

Keep doing this until you have all frame pasted

On your 4th frame hide the 1st word of your text & unhide the 2nd one

On your 6th frame hide the 2nd word of your text & unhide your name

I set my frame properties to 100 on frame 1 & 50 on the rest

View your animation

Save as gif & you're all done!
