I'm having trouble animating this here snowflake and make it rotate/spin/whatever.

Here's a crude animation to show you what I'm referring to:


Here's what I've done so far:

It's really not evident because your image uses pixels of variable size, sometimes 3x4, sometimes 5x4.
Here's a try, normalizing them all at 4x4 :

I made it in grafx2 by working in size 400%,  using the rotate tool, and at the end I used DawnBringer's "halfsmooth" script twice to reduce it back to 100%

edit: I had forgotten one of the frame, I used a flipped+90°-rotated version of another.

It's quite small and colorful, may I use it as a base?

Use it as you wish.
Note that it's no longer pixel art: it introduces intermediate colors for sub-pixels (using interpolation, not human-made choices)
You may especially want to clean up the 90° multiples, to make them sharper.

I was about to ask you that, but you ninja'd me with your lightning-fast hands and typed them with awesome foresight.

Thanks btw :)
