I agree, Xanthe's new site is great and I loved your banners. I liked how you got all the pairings with similar effects, tones, saturation levels - they give a holistic cohesion to the whole site.

I am sure the sign-ups will pick up soon. I guess everyone still needs to get through Samhain!

Sadly, I won't be able to participate in the art santas. I have completely lost confidence in doing graphic art - partly because it's been so long since I made anything (2 years!) and I use an Apple with just the touchpad - I need to get a mouse for more exact work. I love that you are doing both comms! Last year's was so well run!
