I'm totally clueless on how to do this. I have Infanview, but I've never used it yet. I want to make my avatar look like it has white or red, blinking Christmas tree lights on the antenna. Any tips on how to do this?

Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around

I just got done reading through Unfreeze. The problem is to make the lights really pop and stand out. Getting into all the backround and greyscale stuff has me lost. I'll also check out the video. Thanks people
