I think you can use more than one, author. When I came up with this idea, I just intended at least 4 pxl stock. But maybe you are having issues with your computer slowing when using that many layers.

Only nitpick would be to maybe made the 12 stand out a little more. GL!

Thanks jawsh, your right, looks better. When i said i was having trouble using 4 stock pics, i meant finding stuff to fill my scene with, which would look right...i've looked through countless images...

Great comp idea..Thanks.

I uploaded more. Go browse

Oh I suggest resizing the"12" to a smaller size and remove the drop shadow. instead, duplicate the "12" layer, make it black and Use Gaussian Blur to about 4% and keep it under the original "12" layer. It will look more like a stenciled "12" sticker, as if it was put there by a body shop.

Ah! Ya see? Second layer with the gaussian blur looks much better now. GL author!

Yepp, the idea works, but the 1 is a slight to sharp comparing to the rest of the tag.

I agree with sunzet; a bit of blur filter on the number and everything is solved!

very simple, but sometimes that is the way to go.......gl

Nice one

Nicely done!

Creative 1...........Good Luck Author.

Congrats for your first place!

Congrats, well done

It's a real fun! Congratulations for the 1st. place!

thanks for the kind comments guys! and the favs!

I suck at regular sudoku - this must would kill me....aaahhh....very clever GL

you need to work on some numbers there.. they got white color in '0's and some show a background.. use stamp tool to clear the old numbers and write the new ones and then play with blending modes to make them look natural... then it'll look good..

and yes.. this would be the toughest sudoku of all times..

I love sudoku, but I don't know about this one...
The number after # needs more warping, and I agree with Iquraishi about white color behind the changed numbers.

Clever idea, I would have never thought about that. I like this one, but I agree with the background of the numbers, maybe if you had cut out the numbers and then used color selection to get rid of the white it would look better. And with the 111 at the top of the page, underneath you can tell where you covered up the numbers, maybe try using the clone stamp and going in a straight line from the top of the page down over the numbers to give it a better blend. But like I said, love the concept and I do like this entry

It's seems a little 2-dimentional

Why the silly floor and wall?

I agree with both comment, but nice attempt.
