I am struggling with a waterfall cart that has six squares attached to the mechanism. The waterfall works perfectly, but when I attached to the card base the top part of the waterfall wiggles. I’m sure this is because the only place it is attached is near the bottom of the mechanism. Attaching it higher up prevents the mechanism from working. Is it not possible to have this many pictures? Does anyone know how I can make this work? (I tried attaching a picture of the card, but it doesn’t seem to want to be here. I could use help with that too!)

Reason: Typo
The top parts of mine have always moved a little bit while handling. I believe it's the nature of the design. I haven't added 6 flaps before, but that might make it seem a little more obvious in that top part "wiggle". Still, I've gone on to make that style a few times anyway because it's a lfun style of card.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Still, I don’t think I can live with the wiggle on this card. I’ve already re- made the waterfall part of the card several times because I made mistakes, and I think I will just try another time. Maybe with five cards instead of six , it won’t wiggle. And if it does, I can try four! The waterfall cards show a clown juggling, so more is better, but sliding around on the base just doesn’t work. BTW, it is a Halloween card: what is Dracula’s favorite circus act? He always goes for the juggler.

Can you attach the squares with more of an overlap than you are currently using, so that the overall strip length is shorter? I know I tested a long version for someone years ago, but I'd have to search to find where. If I can find the thread I'll come back.
Two ways of attaching a picture, and as far as I know for both you need to be in Advanced and not Quick reply.
the paperclip will attach your image as an attachment. The photograph will insert it in the message body, but the width should be no greater than 600 pixels.
I can't enlarge your thumbnail. Was hoping that would help me understand your problem. Guess I will have to check out some of the waterfall cards I still have around to see if I can figure out what is happening. When I get home I will do that and report back. What a super cute card.
