Hey i’m new to this whole coding thing but it looks like a ton of fun. I decided to work on a stranger things style wall for a Halloween party and found a diy project online. The code could be found here http://www.woodlandmanufacturing.com/articles/news/how-to-make-a-stranger-things-alphabet-sign-with-lights-code/ . My question is if there is any way to have all the lights pulse red in between the other sequences? I’ve tried to splice in the effect but i keep getting error messages or i lose the whole Christmas color scheme. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

Here’s a routine that allows you to blend between different animations:

#include "FastLED.h"                                          // FastLED library.

#if FASTLED_VERSION < 3001000
#error "Requires FastLED 3.1 or later; check github for latest code."
#endif

#define LED_DT 12                                             // Data pin to connect to the strip.
#define LED_CK 11                                             // Clock pin for WS2801 or APA102.
