Nope. Doesn't need a background color. I could always edit other colors later, but visualize lighter colors.
I will be selecting a winner and closing this contest at 3:00pm today (3.5hrs from now). All in - all done? I have this narrowed down to 3 contestants and would like to request minor modifications from 2 of the contestants as follows: 1.) blackmarker - you are good - no changes requested. 2.) delusionweb - could you make the coffee cup look more like a coffee cup (e.g., maybe a small handle which would distinguish it from a soup bowl)? And, perhaps give an arch and possible slight scroll(s) at ends of both bed posts? 3.) spy100 - could you add some touches to the house in your original design? Ideas: add a little chimney, window in or above door, gingerbread trim at roof peak, shrub in front - anything to make it appear a bit more quaint? Thank you!
First of all, I would like to thank all who participated for your time and effort - it is appreciated! I am ending the contest and have selected one of BlackMarkers' entries and have initiated contact to remit payment. Delusion and Spy100.... thank you - check your pm's.
Congratulations BlackMarker ! It was a nice contest, good luck with your website. BTW, you mistyped my username and I did not receive PM yet.
