Close this merged layer and open all the other layers. Click on one of the layers and Layers > Merge > Merge visible. Rename this merged layer Above the snow.

Edit > Click on the layer Under the snow and paste in Animation Shop.
In Animation Shop, open the Snow file. Mine if your frame is the same size as mine, the other one if you are working with a different size frame.
There are 10 frames in the Snow animation. You must duplicate your own Under the Snow merged layer to have 10 frames too.
