Or....... Use this one I
made (below).

next copy,
paste and merge steps 23, 24, 25.
23. Open the MD-Charmed-overlay.psp and
copy.
24. Edit > Paste > Paste as a new
layer.
It's in the right spot so no need to move
anything.
25. Layers > Merge > Merge

For the more advanced
PSP-er.
There is a fire tube in the ZIP to animate the
border.
Look at the bottom of this tutorial to see what I
mean.
The animation:
1. Selections >
Selections load/save > Selection load from alpha channel.
Load
your saved selection.
2. Layers > Duplicate two times.
You have 3 layers now.
With your tubes tool click a few times
in the selection (size 100) at
different spots of the border. Do
this on all 3 layers at different places.
3. Open your psp image in Animation
Shop.
In AS.... Set the time for each frame at 40.
Save your
frame as a GIF.
Your Charmed Frame is done.
