    I love the Flowers and the pumpkins on the side, The image blended in with the background is surely beautiful. One thing I would suggest is not putting as many embossed pumpkins in the main background..

    Creativity~ 19.7

    Blending~ 17.8

    Colours~ 19.4

    Originality~ 20

    Seamless/neatness~ 19.5

    Love the side border! The contrasting blue against the orange is striking The flowers are pretty. I like the pumplin theme, such a refreshing change to see Carrying them across in 3 is in keeping with the border and gives it a nice random effect. The main body picture is lightened enough to be very font friendly However the blending does seem to have her standing on her head Over all the BG is lovely, different in approach which I always like

    Creativity ~ 19.5

    Blending ~ 18.3 the main body let the score down here for me.

    Colours ~ 19.6

    Originality ~ 19.7

    Title/Rules ~ 19.8

    Total ~ 96.9

    Hi Jeannie,
    What stands out here is the pristine and unusual border with a vivid and unusual color combination that works.
    The embossed pumpkins are handsome, but the Hummel (due to the seamless background button, perhaps?)shows her feet over her head, and her head looks split open. The other background images I can't really make out.

    1. design/composition 17.0 (great border)

    2. originality(of concept) 18.4

    3. color(compatibility) 17.6

    4. execution 16.8
    (effects/clarity/resolution/seamless)

    5. legibility 19.4
    (readability/sufficient contrast between type and background.)

    TOTAL 89.2

    I adore blue flowers, and bright orage pumpkins so am in utter love with this background/border right now

    I love the vibrant colour mix of orange and blue, it doesn't clash and the flowers look so natural over the pumpkins

    & the faded part looks great as well, cute little one holding a pumpkin

    Best of luck!

    Stay safe
    Love to you

    I love the contrast of the blue morning glories on top of the pumpkins! Lovely! And your background is nicely faded, and so cute.
    Well done.
    best wishes in the contest

    Oh my goodness.....what a treat to see that splash of blue in your Bord ~

     

    The best thing about this entry.......for me.......is the ability to use so many Font choices and colours and still be very readable

     

    This is really wonderful.....the Back with the child is a special touch......layering your pumpkins on top of her is quite nice as well ~

     

    Title..love the metaphoric approach ~

     

    I do not see the background beneath your Bord to be the same as you Back.....textured...nonetheless....minor adjustments with width maybe should take care of that ~

    Love the contrast in colours....very unexpected for this Theme.......same as debilyns entry.....green & blue do not seem to be Fallish*....however, depends on where you live.....BUT....for me, I still like to see the changing of season = Fall *

    Over-all.....nice job!

     

    Very nice....thank you for coming out to enter into the very first B & B Contest....God bless you,

     

    Bear ~

     

     

    Title....19.0.....your play on words are terrific ~

    Colours...16.2...I enjoyed the colours, not as Fallish as I like, but we have already covered that in review ~

    Creativity...16.75...adore that Back layering ~ 

    Presentation...17.70...The transition from Bord to Back is a tad busy, but not bad.....would like to see this after the contest closes, with some brown ivy thrown in on top of blue ~ 

    First Impression...19.2...The font is ready to be printed on top   ...love the hints of blue tint on your fading pumpkins on the Back

     

    Bears Score:  88.85

     

    Nice

     

    No editing once a Judge has touched your work, or until after contest closes ~
