Thank you Miss Nancy for your information. If there's an easier way than Gimp, I'm all for it. Tried to find GifBuild, but couldn't. There is stuff on it, but when I click onto the page, I get other stuff, how ever I'll keep looking. :) In the meantime, here's what I'm working on. I want the star to twinkle. Now, from what I understand, I would keep the 'white' bit of the star on a seperate level and make two pictures, one with the 'white' and one without? Then I save it to 'Gif", but which one? As you can see I have no idea how all of this works and I have no one to call on here. I'm hoping you will show me the way. Thanks so much for your help so far.
