Ha!! I can't believe you said this! All day long, I was creating this
page design, and I started singing the song "Singing in the Rain"...and
I didn't even realize I was singing it until suddenly I realized that
someday, because of the IMWA, we will be having DancePuddles too...and
then dancer Gene Kelley's performance, dancing in the rain with an
umbrella, should be used as the flyer for DancePuddle - ha!

For those who are not familiar with "Singing in the Rain"...back in the
1930' and 1940's, in Hollywood, they produced beautiful movies with
fancy costumes and lots of dancing and singing...and Gene Kelley became
world-famous for dancing with an umbrella in the rain!

Thanks for your feedback everyone...I agree with all of you and your
idea about animation with the umbrella would be great, Bill! And I
agree, Tini, that it really doesn't look like raining SignWriting...I
can work on that someday...

And regarding the flags...yes...I agree...when I have the time I will
go back and try to get the flags to line up better! I didn't even try
before...

You have all been a great help - many thanks!

Has anyone tried the new Symbol-Frequency feature on SignPuddle?....So
far, only Stefan I believe, has mentioned using it...or are there
others who have too?...

Val ;-)
