I collect these little cards and up until today I called them winkies. The pictures formerly known as winkies, have animated pictures like Can Can girls dancing or hula dancers swaying their hips. I wanted to learn more info about these pictures so I Googled "winkies", yikes! A search turned up crotches, nudist camps and peculiar tan lines, no adorable little Cracker Jack prizes. What do you call these little moving pics?

I love these too! I have little brooches with these kind of small cards (about an inch square). We used to call them 3d pictures. But they aren't because the 3d's don't 'move'. I'm anxious to know other names too.
I love your banner!
Hello Linda,

I think they are called lenticulars
(and I have done those accidental searches ;-)
Oh my! I learn SOOOOOO much on the internet!
Thank you so much Karen!!! They are indeed called lenticulars.

Don't feel alone. The Red Light restaurant in Chicago doesn't own the website you'd think would be easily associated with it, either. :D
