You have software that can create animated gifs. I use a freeware app called "Unfreeze". I lost the URL but a google would be wise

More freeware...
Microsoft GIF animator
Movies 13

You need to have a few frames to piece together in these programs first, before you can get any use out of them.

Edit: to make something like this

Edit: or this

This is me bragging.

Well, I use Adobe ImageReady CS.

It works like a dream .......

EDIT NOTE: This is far from being 'freeware' though .... so you need to have the latent cash lying around.

The easiest to begin with is animation shop pro which comes with Paint Shop Pro 7 and there is a unlimited trial somewhere

i see the darkness at the end of the tunnel

GIFs by their very nature are limited, but only in terms of the number of colours and how much file size you have to play with. The program you're using doesn't limit you in any way in terms of the actual creativity and artwork - that comes down entirely to your own skills.
