ok I have the picture, which I'll post later today - I don't think it'd need major photoshop job, perhaps just scripting like Gis suggested
Enjoy the elegance and fun of 1900 with The Victorians photo story! :gent: ;D :sherlock:

I can certainly work something up.
How do we want the cover? The Playmofriends logo? Use the image or part of the image from the artwork?

I would suggest the logo and a 'Thank you' note above it on a side of the picture, but still very visible

i think i'll make myself understood better when i post the pic

ok here's my first suggested picture

some important notes:

- This had to be a small setting, as in a big victorian diorama Heather's avatar wouldn't be the center of attention and we probably wouldn't even be able to see her
- Heather's avatar inside a room just herself gives a sense of solitude rather than happiness (imo). A garden-only scene would make the picture loose that victorian touch, so I drew inspiration from the current wedding pavilion set...then she's inside and outside at the same time and a 'thank you' note can be put where the sky is.
- I was thinking of another scene in a sunset / night but the screen i was going to use in the background (to get a realistic effect) didn't work during the day time. Can try one more time at night if you don't like this pic.
- I forgot to double check all the accesories that appear on playmodb's welcome picture :wall: Should it take the photo again? :-\
- I added different types of flower bunches symbolizing our signs of appreciation  :)

Feedback please

Ooh, I like it! I think all the flowers are great; it's like she is playing before an audience and they have thrown down flowers. And the cat, bird and, butterfly add interest and life to the scene. She is beautifully posed. I think it's very good.

This is a perfect picture Luis :-)

My idea is to make it 40x40 cm (16"x16") which is a nice size but not IN YOUR FACE!

Tim for the card I would say the Playmofriends logo and "Thank you" and maybe Playmodb somewhere...Something that could be sold as a Hallmark card, you get the idea.

My idea was that the card would be minitiaturizes, printed and put it in the cupboard so it is part of the scene. What do you think?

thanks for the feedback :)

Gis, the original size of the picture is 2.37 MB (i reduced it to 25% from its original size to post it here). I can send it to you or Tim if necessary

And the cat, bird and, butterfly add interest and life to the scene.

you missed the red bird and the dove on the roof ;D
