Thank you! You don't see animated bubbles above the angel's head? There are twinkling stars covering the whole graphic, but there is an animated gif with bubbles. What you're seeing as 85 x 117 IS the bubble animation. I made it using the black background above the angel's head, between the trees. Had to 'remove' the bubbles that were on the picture itself (as yorkie posted it later yesterday)

This is my jpeg (which is used as a table background so that I could put the bubbles on top)

This is the same way we do the 'snowing' posts, where we use a whole graphic as a table background.

[Billie]

P.S. I didn't realize when I started working on that angel blowing bubbles that there were many others 'working' on it, too. I read Amy's where she said she couldn't try to compress it in PSP and didn't get further than that when I posted 'mine'.

jaycee, I'm wondering if there isn't enough contrast in 'my' bubble animation to see the bubbles? Anyone else not seeing them? :(

[jaycee]

I went back and yes, I sorta see the bubbles above the angel! The whole thing is beautiful! I got the dimension thing now. LOL! A very nice job, Billie!

[Billie]

Okay, I’m glad you can see the bubbles, too. :) Thanks, jaycee! Enjoyed your Cinderella “before and after” pictures! Yep, we’ll keep on buy those shoes!

[DollyCali]

what fun! (saw your explanation further down in thread)

Love it

[yorkie]

Thank you Billie. It was written from my heart

[Billie]

Thank you, tiapam! Am glad you enjoyed the song and the graphic. :)

[yorkie]

I got the bubbles, and the twinkles. Love it, Billie! Thank you - that is a saver!

[Billie]

Hey, Dolly! Thank you! :)

[DollyCali]

Billie on the animated bubble/angel.. I see bubbles from the fairy but not the child. I have the glitter all over. Viewing on Firebox with iMac.

[Billie]

Your heart did good. :)

[Billie]

I didn't put any bubbles above the child in the tub - thought it might really be a problem getting TWO different animations placed in just the right spot. (sorta why I did the sparkles over it all - didn't have to worry about the placement) :)

Are the bubbles above the angel's head completely 'clear' of her head? The gif didn't cover and 'chop' of any of her head, I hope. :)

[yorkie]

Your heart did good

Our heart NEVER knows how old our body is.

[yorkie]

the bubbles are above her head on IE - perfectly!

Afternoon, Amy and Billie.

Great song and graphic.

[tiapam]

You really picked this UP a notch!!! Very pretty!

[Billie]

...and our bodies are only as old as our heart feels. (or something like that) :)

[tiapam]

That was sooooooooooooo good! Thank you!!!!

[Billie]

Thank you, and thank you, and thank you. :)

Time for dinner here - will try to get back later.

"and our bodies are only as old as our heart feels"

With all due respect, my body is getting older - sagging and drooping - IOW, starting to show signs of 'not so young anymore'.

But my heart does not know that - and it allows me to still think and feel like a young girl.
