Frame/Layering

Framing:a basic structure that underlies or supports a system, concept, or text.
















Layering:  In animation and graphics software, a "layer" refers to differing levels on 

which you can place your drawings and objects, stacked above and below each other. Top 

layers will obscure bottom layers, just as when stacking things in real life.
