So Artful Challenge - Mardi Gras

"Celebrate Mardi Gras"

I have to say first that I'm not happy with the font results in this image. I spent an hour or so looking for what I thought would make the perfect font for this challenge only to struggle like heck to make it work. I will be changing it later but for now, here's what I've created for this Mardi Gras theme. I created this image using only Photoshop CS gradients, custom images, filters, effects, and a font from www.dafont.com.

The site is still having problems loading for Explorer users but Firefox usually works...at least for most. I'm still having difficulty even with Firefox but perhaps it's just my computer acting up since it probably doesn't like me having both browsers open at the same time.
Also, for those of you who use a Photoshop program - you can find free fonts, brushes, textures, custom shapes, ect here: http://www.free4photoshop.com/
Hope you have a wonderfully creative week!
