Hello
Well....like a few others, you are not afraid to experiment out of the box
I do enjoy the green, even though it reminds me of summer.....however, you did create much more than that, with your usage of reddish/Cranberry fonts and shell hue for your Bord ~
LOVE the Vert Stripe!
Overlapping your foliage is done very well.....I would have liked to of seen a more different *types* of foliage, instead onf one graph used over & over.....but it still works.....and I would use it
Not a fan of your yello pear font....does nothing to nehance this pretty creation ~
Thank you so much for coming out and supporting the first B & B Contest ~
Good luck and God bless you~
Bear ~

I didn't like this very much I think the colours go together very well, and the theme seems alittle cliche. but the design layout is very very good.
Creativity~ 18.4 This is a very good layout and I like the overlaying leaves on this
Blending~ 19.0 I like the marble effects and the blending on the side margin. but I don't think the green and brown stone like colour goes very well together.
colours~ 17.6 This is a very vibrant background I think the green with the side border doesn't contrast very well. and I would suggest toning the main background down alittle.
originality~ 17.9 This is nice. but I have seen many like it. Although I do like the side leaves on the right hand side.
seamless/neat~19.8 This is a very very neat background I like it.
Lost Vampyre Angels Score: 92.7

Liking the colours here The marble effect margin is well done, like the green and red lines running down. The leaves look good scattered, as leaves would be
I can see the seam on the margin but its not that noticable. Maybe if you had left a little gap there between the leaves, the seam may have been more invisible then The blending on the right works very well Overall it is a beautiful blend of colours, not over done and very font friendly
Creativity ~ 19.3
Blending ~ 19.4
Colours ~ 19.6
Originality ~ 18.9
Title/Rules ~ 19.6
Total ~ 96.8

this is a beautiful border i love all things about Autumn & where i live we dont see it all that much so when i am on dry land that is when i get to adore all things i dont normally get to see at all. Thanks for sharing and i wish you luck in the contest you have chosen to enter this piece in

silly me I just sat there for several minutes thinking when is this going to work... then I realized silly me... it's the color... a background. Duh! great job

Hi Debi!
This is really nice! The coral textured rock border Works really well with the color green you have chosen. The solid red line within the green line adds another nice design element. The leaves are very nicely arranged, and the colors chosen for your background fonts work well.
The faded version on the right works well, too.
I honestly see a lot of sophistication in this background. You displayed artistic restraint and excellent sensibilities in my book.
1. design/composition 18.8
2. originality(of concept) 18.5
3. color(compatibility)19.0
4. execution 18.6

Debilyn, This is gorgeous! I so love Autumn with it's winds of change sweeping through our lives, clearing our minds. You did such a great job on this. How do you use a border that someone else designed on AP? Best of luck in the contest, you will do well, I know.
BLESSINGS & LOVE,
Doris
