Thank You so very much for the beautiful bonus gift!!! Following the Theme or not.. ALL the tags entered were all AMAZING! Hard to Vote let me tell you .. LOL! Good Luck to everyone!!!

Can't wait to find out the winners! **anticipation**

Thanks for the gift!!!! Love it!!

The exclusives are gorgeous! Thank you very much to the artists & PFD.

Hi I think it is very difficult choose something and if there are things much nothing to do but want to do different things and be seen ... it would be best to put a blog for general creations and a contest

Well my dear they seem to care so i did a theme cause that is required. i guess those that dont do themes may not win then they are going by themes so it does matter if you want to win.

Blah! So WHAT if people uploaded tags that were not what "some" consider being part of The Theme! Do not like them, Do not vote for them. No need to post and fuss over it. I think if PFD had a issue with it THEY (since it is their generous contest) would address it!!
