Flip book?

I have an idea for a design element for a book I want to do. I am interested in placing a series of images in the lower right hand corner of the right side page to create a flip book…
Is there a template for the 7X7 soft cover that will facilitate an image dropped into the corner in this way? or a way to make it work?
TY

Hey Clipperguy – The creative team that designs BookSmart’s layouts and themes loves flip books too. They suggest using a full-page bleed layout and moving the image to the right hand edge of the page per the image below. And if you can wait, our next version of BookSmart will include new layouts that make this even easier.

Can I then also put text or other stuff on the page as well?

As long as you chose a layout that has room for text or captions as well as the full-bleed option, as shown above, you should be fine. I can’t tell you which layout exactly, you’ll need to check out the options yourself in BookSmart.
