Nice classic card.
I am always trying to 'redo' my card, and come up with revisions daily.....

Have you tried different colors under the text? I like the idea, but the BG just doesn't seem to 'go' with the image. Maybe a little more green in it? Looks great to me otherwise.

I wasn't real happy with the bkg either. But it was late last nite and I already uploaded this one to the printer. I gotta get some more money coming in since the wife ain't working, and I need something fast....

This thing is saved as a PSD so I will go back and rework it.

I'm not digging the little cloud thing, but I really like the rest of it.

the b/g wouldn't be as bad if it were in a straight line vertically between text and image....looks like you scootched over a bit to not crop off her dress....

and yes..she is pretty! :)

Yeah, that's my main problem with it too. Angle the bg at a slight slant to accentuate the image, don't work about the text bleeding over onto the image, it will actually help to tie the two together a little!

I think you'll be OK, they have a thin candy shell. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
