    A Blinking Christmas Tree

    The attached workbook was originally submitted to Debra Dalgleish's forum site (Contextures Excel Blog) a couple of years ago or so. It offers a blinking Christmas tree for you to use to put your computer display into the holiday spirit (assuming you celebrate Christmas, of course). Okay, the graphic is kind of crude, but it is the thought that counts, right? Note the graphic uses VBA code to run, so you will need to enable macros for the workbook. To start the tree blinking, right click anywhere on the worksheet... to stop the blinking, right click anywhere on the worksheet again. Enjoy and happy holidays!

    I think "masterpiece" may be overstating it somewhat, but I am glad you liked it... it was a little gift from me to all my Christian friends out there in cyberspace.

    Thanks, Rick:
    Great use of "arrays" and because your program addresses all shapes, here are a couple of trivial additions:
    Could use a star shape from the shapes toolbox for the tree-top star and could use a piece of word art to say "Happy New Year".
