Duplicate each of the three Skulls. Change the Opacity of these skulls back to 100% and Hide these three layers for now. We will use these later. 

Open Image37, paste as a new layer, resize 50%, add drop shadow.

Add Name and Copyright info.

(If you want to finish without animation)

Merge visible, resize 80% (if desired) , save as a PNG!

(If you want to continue on and add animation, follow the steps below.)

(PSP= Paint Shop Pro and AS= Animation Shop)

Open Animation Shop.

In PSP Edit/Copy Special/ Copy Merged.

In AS Edit/Paste/As A New Animation.

Go back to PSP, Unhide 1 full Opacity Skull, Edit/Copy Special/ Copy Merged.

In AS Edit/Paste/After Current Frame.

Back in PSP, Rehide Full Skull and Unhide next Full skull, Edit/Copy Special/ Copy Merged.

In AS Edit/Paste/After Current Frame.

Repeat these steps changing the skulls each time until you are happy with the amount of frame. Mine has 6 frames total. 

In AS click on the first frame and while holding down Shift click on last frame, with all frame selected right click, Frame Properties, change to 60.

View/Animation. If you are happy with what you see go to File/Save As, name your tag, move slider up to Better Image Quality, Next/Next/Next/Finish.
