Small loops, new compositions

“A waving paper fox was the detail I wanted for a festival announcement. I used the GIF background remover with my stop-motion loop and downloaded a transparent WebM. In the editor, I set the fox beside the event lettering so its repeated wave became part of the invitation rather than a separate square.”
