… okay I mean I guess it depends on what kind of icon you’re using in your separator. I guess it could be machine guns. But I’m using a cat for mine so it’s definitely cute. ANYWAY it works, it’s easy, I did have a small issue with it & Phi got back to me immediately, & now my website has cute separators with a cat & everything is lovely.
