Moopie Invitations:
Step-by-step instructions for a special effects Halloween Festival invitation
created using the Moopie project in Kid Pix Studio.
Open the Moopies project.
Choose Pick a Background from the Goodies menu.
Select Pumpkin for the background for your invitation to the Halloween
Festival. Use the Paint Can tool to pour black around the pumpkin. Use
the Rectangle tool to place a white box on the pumpkin for text.
Use the Text from Keyboard tool to create the text of the invitation.
To change fonts, click on the next line in the white box.
To complete the invitation, use animated stamps from Toonies2: the
ghosts, the candles, the witch on a broom, the flashing stars, the dancing
star, the flame, and the spider webs; and Teeny Toons: the devil cat, the
rabbit in a hat. One spider web was enlarged by holding down the Control
key (Windows, hold down the Ctrl key).
[Tips and Tricks: Macintosh users will discover that in Moopies, the
Control and Command keys allow one to enlarge stamps; Windows users can
enlarge stamps using the Ctrl and the Shift keys.]
Now that your invitation or announcement is wiggling and bouncing,
add a little music. Under the Goodies menu, select Pick a Sound. You can
choose from many songs and sounds already recorded for you. Spooky is a
good choice for the Halloween Festival invitation.
