From this point in the tutorial you have two options:
You can hang the still mirror sphere, (MD-NC-MirrorSphere.psp)
or you can
hang the animated sphere in your tag using the techniques
of this tutorial.
It looks like this if you hang the still sphere:
It looks like this if you hang the animated sphere (Animation in ZIP). See the examples at the bottom of this tutorial.
If you decide to do the animation, you have to skip the next step
and
place the animated sphere when the tag is finished and add it in AS.
Open the MD-NC-MirrorSphere.psp and copy.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.
Place
the still sphere as on the screenshot above.

Move this text to the clear red part at the bottom
of the tag.
In the large part between the girls you can
add any text you like.
You do have to make the text size smaller. See for yourself how
much.
When your text is done:
Layers > Merge > Merge flatten.

If you want to add
the animated mirror sphere:
Duplicate your layer 11 times (You now have 12 layers in total).
Save your tag as nightclub.psp.
Follow this tutorial as
stated before.
Replace the names of the files for the names of the
animation from the tutorial you are working with at this time.
I have added a line with stars so you will know where to proceed.
