So what do you guys think? Chay's on boxes of chocolates since he's a chocolate lynx-point, and Billy gets flowers for being a lilac point. lol You don't think Billy will be offended by all the girly flowers?

I like it! But tell me if it's my monitor --- they seem to have a pinkish cast to them? If it is my monitor, then I need to fix something ...

Oh, and congratulations for centering it

Your kitties are beautiful. Billy the Kit's name is a little hard to read because of the font's color maybe. A few more adjustments & it will be purrfect.

Thanks for the input! I think the pinkish cast is because the pictures are little on the dark side - can't use the flash with the white kitties, it makes them glow! I'll see what I can do on Billy's name. I appreciate the compliments and the suggestions!

Updated it, any better? lol Billy's full name is just too long, you always run into a funny shadow or something where no color will show up everywhere, so he gets to go by his shorter name now.

It might be my monitor but Billys name kind of glows & is still hard to make out.
Is Billy's the same color & font that you are using for your other kitty's name? That one is easy for me to read.
I am not the best person to help...I can't do a siggy at all.

Remember...this could be my monitor.
Wait until you get more feedback before you adjust it again.

Okay,try either doing Billy's name at 0/0 coordinates for the drop-shadow (I use Paint Shop Pro so the wording might be slightly different depending on exactly what you're using,) and re-apply it a couple of times to get the background behind the font a bit darker, or change the color to a darker shade of blue. I think this will make it "pop out" a bit better. It does blend into the background a bit at the present settings. Getting rid of the pinkish cast --- I haven't figured that out yet (I had/have the same problem on Rita's sig where I had to use black wings for Cleo and then changed the color on them) if you figure it out tell me what you did
! Although the color does look better!

I'll darken up Billy's name tomorrow then, thanks for the suggestions! As far as taking out the pink cast, the program I used (MGI PhotoSuite 4) has features that allow you to colorize and tint. I think I just tinted the pictures white!
Its closer to his real coat color, anyways. Thanks for all the compliments and help!

It looks less pink to me now. If you won't to make something whiter, and it has a pinkish shade, the first thing you do is try taking the red out by adding a little more cyan, not sure if that is spelled correctly, since that is the opposite of red.

LOL, I should've been able to figure that out if I'd thought about it! Thanks for the tip, Hope!
