and carefully outline the booby part you want to animate

make sure you follow the natural lines of the body

when you are happy double click to make the selection

then go to Effetcs - Distortion - Punch

and change the settings to 15,
if you wanted a more subtle effect then just change the strength to a lower number

then go to selections none

and copy merged and paste after current frame in Animation shop...

ok because animation shop throws a hissy fit when you try to save anything with a transparent background we are going to add a background colour, light colours work best, so white is pretty safe...

in animation shop go to -Animation - animation properties and change the colour to a light one like white or light pink...something to compliment your tag...
