Thanks

Too much purple. Maybe add another color with it?

But yea, too much purple =/

Thanks guys I've appreciate the feedback but it's meant to be purple.

yeah but add some different shades of purple, maybe a slight splash of magenta-ish color? If you added some yellows, golds oranges in the sparkles on the center right area with all that glittery stuff, in my opinion it will be better.

Orange is the complimentary of purple.

I'm not saying turn it into a rainbow, but some OTHER colors would not hurt.

I made this in 8 seconds, used a default soft brush at about 40px in photoshop, at overlay brush mode, at about 40%... Only used orange for my brush.

It turns it into something a little bit more magical then flat purple. :)

Oh thanks Andrew. That's really nice. I'll go and experiment some more :D

The texture and everything is really nice, but the heart/text placement/font, I don't really like. There's not much room to put the text anywhere else though, so I just keep playing with it, and also play with the colors like Andrew suggested. It looks nice though, I love the spinny things, lol!

ok thanks. I'll go and see what I can do. I didn't like the heart at all myself either but there wasn't much elese I could put there but I'm sure I can find something. (:
