Basic Animated colour circles.

I used paint shop pro Jasc V9,But you can use any version.
You will also need Animation shop, I'm sure there are other animation programs out there though.
Filter- MuRa's Copies.

On the web you can find lot's of circle shapes or Dingbats for free.
 I just used the Circle preset shape that comes with psp.

Open a blank canvas 800x800

Draw out your circle not too big, make sure it's on a vector layer.
Objects/Align-Centre & convert to raster layer.

Go to Effects/Filter/MuRa's Miester Copies-Encircle:



You can change how many circles & the size you want by changing:
•Number
•Shift X & Shift Y



So we have 12 circles. Start at the top middle circle.

For the first 6 circles I will be changing the colour to Black #000000
Making sure you are on the top-Middle circle. Click on it with your magic wand,
Then go to Adjust-Brightness/Contrast-Brightness/Contrast:
Brightness -255 Contrast -100

Selections/Select none. Edit Copy Merged

Open Animation shop & paste As New Animation.

Go back to psp Undo Then & again with your magic wand click on the next circle, You can go left or right.
I went to the right. 

Continue to do this for 6 circles. Always make sure to paste After Current Frame in Animation Shop & undo before starting on the next circle in psp.

You can continue to use the same colour all the way around if you wish.
I decided to use a different colour for the other 6 Circles.

The instructions are the same as above, Only this time click on the 7th Circle at the bottom middle. Click on it with your magic wand 
and Add a new layer.
fill with a colour of your choice, I used Pink #ff00ff

Once you have filled the circle, select none.
Edit/copy merged & again paste after current frame in Animation shop.
 
Back in to psp Undo & move on to the next circle follow the instructions above.
