These entries are great!

Samantha, you look so good smoking that flamingo... all nonchalant like, "Yeah, I'm smoking a flamingo. What of it?" lol

You both had great backgrounds to work with. I'm especially envious of Samantha's rotary phone!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations are in order to our winner Quigley Brown for his graphic ensemble Forever Blowing Bubbles!

It was a very tough contest, with Quigley Brown skimming by ONE POINT against the runner up Kilroy!

The Judges mentioned over and over again how much we ENJOYED your participation and how DIFFICULT it was to choose any winner at all!

Quigley Brown: My mailbox is full, so please wait a couple days and I'll PM you with regards to your mailing address.

Thank you everyone for a GREAT CONTEST! And especially a warm Thank You to our great judges: Mingoslim and Shearer!

I have said it before . . .

But I will say it again . . .

Congratulations to everyone who took part . . .
You gotta love VB, for taking the time to do these contests . . . for sending out great prizes . . . and for generally being a joy . . . a true FL Treasure.

Gotta also love the folks who use their creativity, and time to give us all a little lift with their great entries . . .

Always a pleasure to judge . . .
And always a difficult choice.

You are all winners (Though you don't all get a prize ;) )

I know I'm too late, but I had an idea for this contest and not enough time to do it. But the idea just wouldn't go away! It nagged at me until I did it, and I thought I would post it just for laughs. :)
