A Red Paper-Cut Lantern Sways Gently by the Window
Layered red paper and a touch of shadow give this swaying lantern the look of a window decoration.
Prompt notes
✍️ Anchor the suspension point first, or the whole lantern will drift around the frame. The tassel trailing a beat behind is a follow-through motion: one line in the prompt is enough, and that little delay feels more lifelike than adding frames.
Full prompt
📋 Prompt Natural Language
Create a 6-frame looping sprite sheet, 3 columns by 2 rows of equal 512x512 cells on a warm cream paper background. Subject: a layered Chinese red paper-cut lantern with a gold tassel, hung from the top center of each cell by a thin string. It swings like a pendulum: center, slightly right, far right, center, slightly left, far left. The top attachment point never moves, the tassel lags slightly behind the lantern, and a soft paper shadow shifts with it. Frame 6 returns to frame 1. No grid lines, no numbers, no text, no characters on the lantern.
