Step 2

Open up the witch animation. 

Step 3

Holding down the control key, left click the A key to activate all the frames.

Step 4

Go to Edit/Copy.  Make the tag image active and go to the very first frame and go to Edit/Paste into selected frame.  Holding down the left mouse button, place the witch animation on a black area near the front of the tag so that the black palette of the animation blends with the black coloration of the tag. Once you have the animation placed, release the left mouse button.

Step 5

Before we continue to save the animation, let's first click the Customize button to make sure you have all the correct settings for this animation. 

Click the Customize button and you will see two tabs:  Colors and Optimizations.

Here is what each setting should be under the two tabs.

Colors

255 Colors, Optimized Median Cut and Error Diffusion should be checked.

Optimizations

The middle three selections should be checked. 

The top and bottom selections - unchecked.

After customizing these animation settings, click Ok and click Next and you will get the following screens:
