Nicole, what size gif file will you require?  I assume that this will have
to be transferred somehow from the gif file to the T-shirt.  Depending on
the size and resolution of the gif, the expanded image for the shirt could
be distorted, I would think.  Let us know what you require and I will send a
gif of the above in my conscript tal eglar.
