This is just plain beautiful. In all aspects this is a stunning piece of work. Good lord do I have some learning and fiddling to do. I personally can't see this as anything but Gold. Scott

Now this is stunning work
Seamless, blends beautifully and the first acorn I think I've seen
The border is not to wide and the designs, tho busy do look great. I do like the main body, tho I wouldn't have picked white font. I really don't have anything to critque
I have PSP9 and I am thinking maybe I should use it more now, had no idea it was capable of quite so much
I do like the tag as well, beautifully done and matches nicely 
Creativity ~ 19.7, very creative.
Blending ~ 19.9 awesome work.
Colours ~ 19.4 Rich and full bodied.
Originaility ~ 19.3 one of the more original one I've seen.
Rules/Title ~ 19.2 Title does let this down a little.
Total ~ 97.3 excellent work

Hi Cindy,
Now, how am I supposed to critique this? *Gets out the extra picky glasses* Love the richness of the border and the sparkly touches. Gorgeousness. The large brown acorn has a bit of white on the edge of it's cap, a tiny flaw.
The layered background *sigh* what is the word I'm seeking? Oh, perfection. Beautifully textured also.
The tag? Can't judge it, but it's frosting upon layers of frosting. I love it!
Okay *ehem* the scores:
1. design/composition 20.0
2. originality(of concept)19.8
3. color(compatibility) 20.0
4. execution
(effects/clarity/resolution/seams/flaws)19.8
5. Legibility 20.0
(readability/sufficient contrast between type and background.)
TOTAL 99.6 *wow* with *glasses*
No changes once this has been critiqued. -
Sooo pretty

Welcome to the first B & B Contest ~
There is so much to like about this peiece of Art right away ~
The colour behind your Border is tasty!
All white Font is not something I would receommned after the contest closes, but it sure does pop!
The Background wallpaper is.....hmmm....wonderful, but playing off of the Border too much?
Just a thought

Your Border presentation is the best I have seen yet......a splash of purple and white contrasy so very well and the bits of yellow peak through so hently......pretty!
Title......well, I don't want to say Cliche', but I shall say.....not as good as the Art

Loving your transiton from Border to Background.....your ability to lap over the vert trans is superb.....nothing more to critique here.....good luck and God bless you!

Creativity...18.75...I think...lots of work went into this....well-noted ~
Presentation...19.0...The font is what gets hit hard here.... transition from Border to Background, is perfect...I do love your ability to stretch your graphics over the other ~

SENSATIONAL
Now this is why you are the master graphics maker, i can't even begin to understand how you made that border this would have to be the best bkgd i have seen. It is so soft to look at and just has that elegance about it. Brilliant, fantastic

thank you, but no, I am far from a master. you on the other hand need to teach me how you fade the border graphic into the border. I'd love to be able to do that

I loave this. Love the boarder and the lift you gave the acorns off the page. The background is perfect too. Awesome fade and everything looks like it is floating in the background, like leaves and acorns just falling from the tree
