Mouse Blowing Bubbles Animation
You will need the following images to complete this tut.
I've included the zip file in psp format for you
HERE so that you can skip the first steps of increasing colors and changing your background color to white.
In Paint Shop Pro open the images you just saved.
Click on each image individually and go to colors, increase color depth and 16 million colors ,
And set your background color to white.
This will allow you to use the picture as a transparent selection.
Now, Open a new image with the settings you see here.
Activate the mouse image by clicking on the bar.
Go to your tool bar and Click on Edit, then Copy.
Activate the new image you just made. (again by clicking on the bar)

The marching ants will be gone.

Activate the first bubble image (again, click on the first bubble image)
Go to your tool bar and Click on Edit, Then Copy.
Activate the image you are working on. (again, click on the image you want to work with)
Return to the tool bar and Click on Edit, Then Paste, Then As Transparent Selection.
Move the bubble you just pasted over to the bubble wand the mouse is holding.
