Optical Illusion

This is a pretty cool illusion.
Stare at the center cross. What happens to the pink circles?

There are lots more here. I know some of you have seen some of these before, but this pink dot one was new to me.

I’m interested to know what Richard and Brian see here.

The same thing you see. That’s a neat one.

I can make all the pink balls go away for several rounds, with only the green ball orbiting the circle, and then all of them have a green halo around each ball. Does everyone see that?

At first I see the green orbiting and the pink. Then the pink goes away and I just see the green orbiting. I think that’s what most people see.

The main effect I see is like Don describes. Although as my eye flickers a little, the pink tends to fade in and out with green edges.
