Cloud animation in css3

by Santosh Thakur

HTML

<!--
So we will have an animated background with 5 clouds moving across the screen.
Steps: 
1. create the clouds
2. Animate them to move across the screen
3. Stylize the clouds(can be done as step #2 also)
-->
<div id="clouds">
	<div class="cloud x1"></div>
	<!-- Time for multiple clouds to dance around -->
	<div class="cloud x2"></div>
	<div class="cloud x3"></div>
	<div class="cloud x4"></div>
	<div class="cloud x5"></div>
</div>
<!-- Thats the markup! -->
