Hi Erin, Thank you for liking my “Ocean Wave” design. And, I notice that one of my foiled wedding submission "grand garden" shares some similar design concepts with your “Vintage” submission. I hope it doesn’t bother you :-)

I have been thinking about that "Gifts of Plenty" award for designs with 6+ photos in it a *lot* recently. It's just so hard to come up with something new and fresh. I just really feel like your design nails something really interesting but in a way that customers are likely to get and really like.

Hi Erin! thank you for your advice on my leafy antlers which I really appreciated. I have drawn some chunkier swashes which definitely look better than the first effort. I am only wondering now if that brushery font looks a bit heavy and overpowers the more delicate antlers? I've tried a different font as well which sits nicely with the antlers but.....it looks more elegant than funny. What do you think? :)

Hey! They don't look evenly spaced next to the text. The bottom one feels closer to the last name. But I also think a line at the top and bottom isn't necessary? I don't know. Maybe try a few things and do a poll?
