Penny, you're right - the scissors are AWFUL. I guess making cute flippy scissors seemed like a good idea to the designer.
Hint... (which I figured out after much mild swearing) The center of the scissors is green when you can make a snip, and red when you are on an area that you can't cut, like off the paper. The cut point seems to be directly under the pivot of the scissors - exactly where you cannot see.
Also, if it leaves a blue star on the paper, I think it means that you haven't finished a cut-out, and you need to add another snip there. It's a mystery. It would be much better WITHOUT the scissor thingy, and WITH instructions!
I like it anyway.
I finally made a couple of snowflakes! They make you work for it don't they? Stupid Stupid Scissors - how are you supposed to see what you are doing? And they spin. What's with the spinny thing huh? A case of someone going over the top with Flash 8 if you ask me - i can't blame them in one way, i can only make spinning letters with Flash 8 at the moment and that drives me nuts but i can see how you can get carried away once you learn new tricks.
Enough blather from me, here's me snowflakes both animated (another case of someone going over the top ha ha) and static pics.
Well i can sleep easy in me bed now that i have made a couple of snowies :crackup: totally addictive stuff though. Have you seen some of the other flakes in the gallery? Blooming marvellous - unlike mine!

See PenPen - knew you could do it!!
The flickering one looks fab!
I am going mental here.............i should never have even looked at this snowflake thing - i am hopelessly lost forever now.
Here are some cat snowflakes - i keep trying to see how many cats and other animals i can fit in before it all falls apart ha ha
I am completely doomed to a life of snowflakes
Oh, Penny--what great snowflakes!! :clap: Hooray! (They are addicting, aren't they? In fact, I made another one... )
I love your xmas tree snowflake Debora - i keep cutting the branches off when i try to make one ha ha ha - i'm still hooked on making cat snowies, here's another (told you i was lost forever did'nt i?)
Wow, Penny! Great job! :dance:
Here's another snowflake site:

It makes very doily-like snowflakes when you just doodle on it.
I haven't tried anything fancy yet. I can't get the spacebar to "deactivate" the scissors, like it says. Still fun!
I will remain strong and not spend hours on it. I have managed to make 2 or 3 at a time and then drag myself away!!
