This is a quick and easy tut!
I do hope it was easy to follow!

You can get the code from HERE
Make sure you copy the WHOLE code.

Now you will go to design and then Edit html
The code needs to be placed just above the   </head> or in some cases will say </header>
this below is with an artisteer code BUT as long as it is placed just above those it should work with all layouts.

Photobucket


Now the code gives you Pinkish purple sparkles If you want to change the color to match your blog copy the code to a notepad first makes it easier to find. Now at the top you will see 

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var colour="#BD3EA8";
var sparkles=50;

The number is how many will fall. Once they start to disappear it wont generate anymore till they have all disappeared. So I think 100 is a good number hehe or more cause I like sparkles lots and lots of sparkles lol.

I do hope this was an easy tut for you and that you understand!
