Animated Butterfly Wings

In this tutorial you will need Psp and Animation Shop. I used psp 9 but I think you could do this in other versions just as well. You will also  need the tubes, that you can download here I made the butterfly tube and the beautiful flowers tube came from  CCD'S Tube Heaven. that she was kind enough to let me use. You can visit her site here If you don't want to use my tubes feel free to use your own.  Animated Butterfly wings Making the background.... 1...Open the tubes and a new canvas in psp.
