Keep the new raster layer selected and select all.
Go back to your new background and Edit Copy and then to your butterflys and Paste into Selection
Add your water mark on the background and merge the background and watermark layer together..X out the top 3 butterfly layers before merging.

Then click on the first back ground layer and go to Layers Merge visible
X out this merged layer and repeat with layer 2 and copy 1 un Xed and then again with layer 3 and copy 2 un Xed.
till you have 3 seperate layers of the background now combined with each butterfly layer.


File save with all the layers un Xed call it final and save as a psp file incase u want to use it for something else in the future.
Then file save again as an ani.psp see pic. We need to save it as an ani.psp to be able to animate it in Animation Shop.
