An underwater background will be more nice...

Nicely done Good Luck

agree with hereisanoop - might look even better in an underwater scene but still very nice. Good luck

I've changed background from black to more sea related colours... - is that looks better now?

beautiful !

To hereisanoop, oasisman and steed: Thank you very much! Much appreciated.

To gamemastertips: This is very strange, I can't beleived myself ... i was really, relly amazed when I found out

wow i really like this image!

Nice image love the colors, have some suggestions for improvements, of course at the end of the day it is up to you. At the moment its looking a bit flat you need to add some shadows (not to dark) to the flowers given them some contrast and depth. The front butterfly also needs a shadow. And the back two butterfly’s need the white edges removed and they are to sharp compared to the B.G. image a little blur should sort this.

ok warlock thanks gona work on it

nice work making the flowers and leaves

Your overall colors and design are super!! I agree, there should be shadows all through the flowers. Also, if you were able to create these great flowers, you could also have created the butterflies and bird to take your work many steps forward. GL

Really "cool"!

very nice...gl

doesnt really seem like the typical christmas card.

Well, maXed, I live in a country that is both tropical and subtropical and where it's Summer now and snow is as rare as hen teeth. Why not create a card consistent with our climate? Christmas isn't only snow, evergreens, Santa Claus and so on

yes ,, this is typical chrissie card in my side of the world.... I really like cards that reflect those of use who usually spend it in the summer sun.... nice entry author......Happy Sunny and fun silly season.

I think Christmas can be applied as you mentioned author. We know the difference in climate and weather, in some parts of the world. We have snow, cold temperatures and rain here, while it is summer in other countries. Your portraying of Christmas is unique, and it is your idea. I like it, simple, but interesting. Gl.

Didn't say it was bad tho

is it mother theresa ?

Pls, don't get me wrong maXed. I was just trying to explain the other side of Christmas Lamantine, it's the nativity as it's known all around the world

Ok then ! Nice entry !

Minimal use of source...

Oh, I should of taken the very edge of the glass and a slither of the straw and trasformed a few small things into a huge magical elephant.

Ya know, author, I totally get your response and I sympathize with it way more than you know! I agree with you! But IMHO it's still a minimal use of the source.

yeah it is

Well, using the source as inspiration for a webpage head is not bad, but you could always used it in the "Weekly Special" box after having made some changes to it. Just an idea

simple use of source, still visually fun. GL

oh I hear you with the elephant, still a little too simple use of source though
