Here you will find a template for a small blinky box. Open in PSP and you will see that it has three layers, border, background and text. Duplicate this file and close the original for future use. Click on the border layer and flood fill with color of your choice.

Click on Background and Go to Selections / Select All. Then go to Selections / Modify / Contract and contract this layer by 3 pixels. Now Flood fill with another color of your choice.

Here is mine so far! Next go to the text layer and add your text as you wish. If you want to add a small tube create another layer and do so now. When you are happy with the colors and text, etc. Go to Layers / Merge / Merge Visible.

Right click on this merged layer and rename it Blinkie1 then right click again and this time duplicate this layer. Rename the new Layer Blinkie2 then go back to Blinkie1 Layer and duplicate again renaming it Blinkie 3. Making sure that your Blinkie1 layer is highlighted go to Selections / Load/Save Selection / Load from Alpha Channel. This will bring in the Blinkie format, Zoom in so you can clearly see what you are doing. Hide the two upper layers so you are just working on Blinkie1 layer. Now Flood fill this layer with a color of your choice by clicking inside one of the boxes that are selected around the edge of your image. Flood fill one box and all should be filled. Selections / Select None.

Now close of Blinkie1 layer and Highlight and unhide Blinkie2 layer. Again go to Selections / Load/Save Selection / Load from Alpha Channel and this time choose Blinkie2 selection. Again flood fill with the same color as before. Selections / Select None.

Again Close off Blinkie2 layer and Highlight and unhide Blinkie3 layer. Again go to Selections / Load/Save Selection / Load from Alpha Channel and this time choose Blinkie3 selection. Again flood fill with the same color as before. Selections / Select None.

You can now go back to normal viewing and unhide all your layers. Save as psp file and open it again in Animation Shop. Now you can run the animation viewer to see what it will look like. Here is mine.
