Where is the Flash site that allows you to rearrange charcters into figures, faces, etc?

Does anyone know the website (Flash I'm pretty sure) that allows you to take characters from the alphabet as well as punctuation and drag them onto a pasteboard and then rearrange them into figures. There's also a gallery of completed figures.

Response by poster: Nope it's neither of those. This site has an alphabet off to the side- you drag and drop individual letters onto a "canvas" you can then resize the letters and rotate them. You can then make figures and faces out of the different letters.

Also interesting, but probably not what you're after. I googled "typography flash", and didn't get very far into it, but it might help.
