The GIMP will do it. Create your picture with multiple layers; each
layer is another image in the animation. Be careful with transparency;
each frame completely overwrites the previous frame. When you save, do
so as GIF. At that point you will be given the option to save as an
animation; the next dialogue will let you set the delay between frames.
