I tried and it didn't work?????

yes, you can even use animated GIF's, they just have to abide by the same rules as any other image file in regard to image and file size.

The maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 150 pixels or 50.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

do you have a link to your pic or can you upload it here and I can check it or resize it for you?

Thank you so much Rob, always very helpful with these types of things.
For some reason it doesnt loop? Not sure if that will be a problem?
I embedded the link as well
