This are animated falling stars, but they look like snow too , so use your imagination;) The effect covers large areas so try just one at first, and it works just like any other furniture item. I got a few messages asking me how to take them off...well it`s just another furniture item...the spot to move them around or take them off its usually at the center of the effect. or next to where you were standing in the room when you added them. Hope u Enjoy it!!~Vero~
