4.

5. 

1. Make sure the Antialas and left alignment. and your text will 
   appear like floating and now flood fill with your pattern as described in the step Making a pattern

3.   Press option to get the pattern we made earlier or open one into your paint     shop5. Here is what it look like with the one we made filling in each letter. Then select none if you want the angel with it. If you want only the text then do not deselect.

Preparing for the Animation

1. I am going to add the angel and text as a whole animation.

2. Open your layer palette merge visible layers or go to layer and merge 

3. visible layer

4. Now that the layers are together click with the magic wand and click on the outside of the image and the marching  ant will appear 

5. Then go to selection invert and the marching ants will be around the angel and the text.

6. Now make sure to save the original making sure marching ants are still 
   around the angel and text Click on Shift and D together and click 3 time to make three copies.

7. Now you may close your original. Leaving the ants marching go to images 
   down to Plug in Filter down to VM natural. then across to sparkle and a menu will open like this. and set the levers as shown below.

8. I found with this big of animation I had to alternate random seed to have more sparkle per image
   

9. 

10. Save that image in psp format. in the same folder. Click on the minus sign to minimize it in case you would like to add more sparkles at different random seed onto one image making sure to alternate the random seed from one side to the other. 

11. The top scroll are the size of the sparkle and the color and the bottom.

12. I mostly only use the random seed. Now go to next image and go to
    images down to Plug in Filter down to VM natural then across to sparkle 
    and the same menu will show up but change the Random Seed to by save image  in psp format. 

13. Again if you want more sparkles add the random seed randomly.
    Now go to next image and go to images down to Plug in Filter down
    to VM natural then across to sparkle and the same menu will show up but 
    change the Random Seed to by moving the lever to 62 and save
    image in psp format 

14. Again if you want more sparkles add the random seed randomly.
