You need a graphics package that allow you to create multiple layers images and show them continously. TheGimp works and is free but can be complex.

What you tend to do is create lots of individual picture files and then use a graphics tool to link them to display one after the other.
If your still stuck send it on and I will take a look tonight when i am at home.

Do a search on Google for free animators.

Made a wicked one last night, an animated one with 2 of shakiras heads alternating with mine in the middle.
Although it resembles a thorn between a piccie of two roses, I was quite proud of it.
