Along with making Flipnotes I also like listening to songs and looking at paintings.

Please introduce some of your best Flipnotes, and tell us why you like them.

★ This is one of the first Flipnotes I made. I posted this for the weekly topic "Snow Fun".

★ I animated a figure running in this Flipnote.

★ I tried to make this Flipnote in a Chinese style.

★ It was challenging to draw the frog jumping out of the bag in this animation.

★ This is an old Flipnote I made where I tried to create a lot of action.

I am fast at drawing and can finish my Flipnotes quickly.
