Hi SErs! Harmony here. Animated book covers have become all the rage for social media promotion. So, today, I’d like to show you how to animate a book cover.

My pleasure to share such a helpful post, Gwen. I’ll be getting back to more regular sharing now that company is gone and the House of 1,000 Santas is back to being the House of 1,000 Furballs and Dust Bunnies. 😀
