The Dingbat Animation Tutorial 
Dingbats as Accent Animations
Tutorial information: Many of us have heard of Dingbats, and often wondered what we could do with them. This tutorial will show you how you can use all of those great dingbat fonts you have and turn them into wonderful graphic accents and or animations. This tutorial will show you how to work with dingbat selections, flood fills, effects, layers, selection tools, and more.
You will learn how to take the same dingbat and make color changes to it so that you can have the same image and animation in multiple colors. I find it fun to take holiday dingbats, and turn them into interesting animations for digital cards, signatures for emails, and even to decorate my website.
