If you can't manage to make your own circles you can use Jeanette' s

which is supplied in the zip.

However, it's always nice to try and make it first :)

If you want to use Jeanette' s script you will need

two additional backgrounds.

NOTE! The  ' bella lila.gif' must be added to the bottom of the script!

Have fun!

Download Jeanette' s empty script.
