Re: Moving Pictures in a Frame

There was a report in my local paper recently that a load of these caught fire when plugged in, so might be dangerous as well !

Re: Moving Pictures in a Frame

oh mate, they really are horrible....I think you'd see them in houses where they have the three flying ducks on the wall and those awful picture plates from Franklin Mint.

Re: Moving Pictures in a Frame

I've never seen these pictures anywhere but looking at the link I thought they were rather attractive.

I have nothing tacky in my home but I think they would be rather effective and appropriate in the loo, running water and all that

Re: Moving Pictures in a Frame

I saw one of these with an SD card slot which would loop/slide show your photos.
