Everyone that has posted has gotten their prizes so far except Cleo_Lo, you will get yours shortly as now I'm trying to get the money before I give it so I don't totally drain my bank.

Kay, heres the commentary on each set entered:

Tinkerbell

Jeremy Camp set - I loved the background on this set, quite spiffy. It has a unique feel to it, and quite pretteh.

DM

Jeremy and Adrienne - This is very pretty. I love the effects, the text.. good job. :D

Matt Thiessen - I like the background to this. You always make spiffy ones. The main font is weird.. in a good way, of course. I'd like t know what he's thinking in that picture. :P

Bethany Dillon - I like the background (again) and the subtext is really nice too. The color choice is good as well. Overall nice job. :D

Chris Tomlin - Unique subtext, I must say although noone but US will get it. Kind of cool that way though, eh. Again spiffy background. I like the text placement on the avvy. :)

Everconfused

I've said it once and I'll say it again - he. Is so. CUTE. <3 x a BILLION!!!!!!! I love the background (I am indeed a background liker..) and main font and subtext font.. The subtext is so cute and really, really true. Thanks!

Cleo_Lo

Bunny set - This is so simple but so unique. The border is so cool and the font is perfect. Many kudos, though, for managing to get in a George and a Jennifer-looking bunny! (she looks like the one on the avatar! Except bigger and she has brown on her too :P)

Sleepy Kitty - The avatar animation is dear. <3 I just love that line.. "I can sleep anywhere!" :P The signature animation is cute too. At first I thought they were just little sparkles, but now I realise they are Z's and they make a cute touch. The border is also unique and quiet cute. Still holds the pattern of the kitty but isn't over done.

Raindorf Balloon - This is cute. I don't know if you put in the snow yourself, but it adds a nice effect anyways. I like how it goes over the main text. The colors are great in more than one way!

Mallory

I love the unique (I use that word a lot but its so true!) shape you have to your sets. I like how you included the animation on the avatar, I've always loved those fun images. Again, great background. :P

Stampsyne

I like how the bird's tail is coming out of the siggy. Cute. The colors of the bird/tree/background blend together really nice. I also like how the tree branch he/she is holding is still visible, it connects the flowery thingy and the bird. Cuteness. :D

Carrot Loving Bunny - This is really, really cute. I love how he/she jumps up for the carrot. This is just very cute. The font choices are great, as well. The grass in the background is simply detailed. I dunno how that works but it does.



Nikita

Your cutouts are so detailed! I like the color choice, because it flows with the rest of the set and the Bori doesn't stand out horribly because of its black wing things. The font is very fitting as well.

WIS

I love how you put the black border around it. Spiffy. The orangey text on the avatar and siggy makes it seem really.. cool-ish. The whole color scheme and effects makes it look really neat.

Chipper

Both the siggy and avatar pictures are really cute. I like the siggy text itself, as well as the colors. It blends in nice but not too much. The avatar text is nice too, it also blends good. Plus good placing, coloring, effect. I also like how the macaw is in his sunglasses, looking like he's ready to go to the "paradise". :P 8) So intentional or not, that's really cute.

Gemma58

How you came up with this I don't know (please do share that :p) but it's really unique, again, and has great contrast. The little "Sun" conures on the kind of gloomy background work great. The font and subtext are great too. I never said this since you were the last entry, but thanks for entering. :D (and yourwelcome by the way)

Again, thank you all. Reviewing them like this made me pick up little details I didn't see before. You all have such unique talents, keep it up! And just so I can say it one more time.. what a unique bunch of unique sets made uniquely by uniquely unique, unique individuals of uniqueness!~ God bless you all. <3 (Not just for being unique either!)

UNIQUELY YOURS,

Medil (*cough*getitdm?*cough*)

Medli, I originally thought of doing a Relient K set, but I was terribly outclassed by the wonderful sets already posted. So I decided to use the Sun Conures (google is my friend)...was reading about various Conures and spotted that pic (the conures were actually sitting on a large pole with cage bars behind them), then I remembered the album cover of Relient K
had that green flower, very similar to a flowering grass stem that Conures seem to favour. The grey/white background was a bonus as it really showed off the Conure colours....the rest was just quickly put together *shrug*

ps: the font is Evanescent, the subtext was my idea of you here on the forum :P

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it! The first chara animated set I made was for Lionheartwitty, but this happy bunny set gave me a ton of experience on how to layer them. Without which I would enver had been able to make Xerophyte's Bowling for Penguins entry.

I must say that the i on the end of MEdli being a carrot was pure inspiration. I watched it for like 20 minutes before I posted it. I giggled ALOT.

Thank you Medli-San. The effects on the Jeremy/Adrienne set were Liz's idea, so I'll pass the ratings on to her.

Congrats everyone!
