    Thanks for the kind words about my efforts on the animation.

    @ Rik, must not be earth I think it must be planet XaraXone or planet Bouton, because that is the only place trees like that grow.

    Yeah!
    I think you're right, Larry.
    It must be Planet Bouton. I'd expect gravity to be pretty powerful there.

    Actually, the planet Bouton, was named after my great-great-parental unit. It lies in the NGC 147 group of the Andromeda Galaxy, which really isn't that far away of you know which special door to open in an alley on 47th Street and Fifth Avenue in NYC (there are other doors but I can't remember them right now).

    There are three rings around the planet Bouton, each of which is a ride attraction, one of many on Bouton. Tickets are available at TicketsNow online.

    You might want to take along a towel.

    Great designs and cards Gare, Stygg, and Larry!

    The tree has apparently been launched into outer space....so here's one with another greeting for the future...

    Why the towel? Is that in case you wet yourself on the ride?

    Nice card Myra. Is that planet Bouton in the background? No, I guess not because it has no rings. OK back on topic now.

    Larry, that was an oblique reference to Scott Adams' "The Hitch-hiker's Guide to The Galaxy", where gormless Arthur Dent was advised that when traveling, always take a towel. It has many uses when hitch-hiking through the galaxy. But he never explained why. So I cannot, either, okay?

    OK Gare, that is one of my favorite books. I couldn't help wondering about the effect the ride might have and the need for a towel.

    Hi,

    It seems that when I get about 4 minutes into the tute, I get stuck. After using the mould tool on a quick shape, the ability to connect the dots is disabled. The drawing tool is there but the quickshapes only have the mould envelope.
