Anyway, the only question we have is how to write the mouth motion: >puckered lips shifting back and forth (left-right). (Puckered lips + double >mouth wrinkle??) >-- James ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi James - Why not send us an attached file the way you are writing it right now?...Then I can attach some alternative choices. There are several ways to write the puckered lips moving from side to side, and I am curious to see what you have written first! Thanks for the great question - Hope your Nicaraguan guests are enjoying the snow in Maine! Val ;-) |
