Ah, the classic snow globe. That clear orb full of mystery liquid, some sort of flake material, and typically a diorama depicting some scene. Shake it up and watch the snow fall.

In this guide we'll show you how to use a Circuit Playground Bluefruit along with a TFT Gizmo to create a digital version of a snow globe. We'll display customizable snow globe goodness on the TFT. You'll be able to set a custom background, create custom snow flakes, and of course shake to clear the snow globe and start it all over.
