and i was thinking that since its an avatar, it wouldn't really look good with the Winky. so i did one with out it and the "Happy Birthday" thing:

The color is black but i can change it to any color (ONLY IF I DON'T HAVE THE CANDLE). The only thing i can't do is the candle that i found on google images at a site where they teach you how to make a candle using photoshop. I don't use photoshop so i don't know how to do it. When i try to change the color with the candle on, the area around the candle is still black. and i can't change the color of every pixel. Its too much

Here's the link of that site: http://www.photoshopnerds.com/creating-a-candle-flame.htm

What do you guys think?

Bash . . I like the cupcake but hate everything else.     Great start!!

The thing is . . the avatar (let's assume it'll be used my the birthday person here at WC) has to match the theme (which is taking Po' forever to do and if anyone stepped up with a better [faster] idea I'd jump all over).

Keep the cupcake in reserve for now but maybe look at the taksbar and start button Po' came up with.  (I think he posted the images he used around here somewhere).

As an aside . . I really like the cupcake . . reminds of the Playboy bunny logo.  [No I'm wondering about a new winky shadow thing for another theme project another day.  }

Join the club. 

You can do whatever you want  . . . but to be part of theis project you have to follow (or set) the theme. 

You take care of you Po.

I'll contact skinhit to take over if you can't hanlde it. 

Feel better soon Po'

Merely a suggestion . . you know . . to help out . . until you can handle it. 

Me and Winky can handle it.

That's very cool Po'

I'm still working on Zubaz's cake. sigh. It's a bitch. A cake with a wedge out just doesn't work. A wedge is tough to utilize.

Then, my wife. She starts with "You never show me what you're working on anymore.."

There is a reason for this. But, forgetting myself, I show her the cake.

"That doesn't look like a cake. It looks like a spool...with...with stuff on it."

I show her the first cake.

"Oh, honey. Sorry. That just looks all wrong. And they're both shaped funny."

I tell her that the step-son knew it was a cake. he chimes in. "No, I said it looked like a slice of cake." Then he looks at the latest cake. "That looks like someone puked their guts up on a stool." Van-Gogh should be grateful he didn't have to contend with my step-son.

So, I explain what I am trying to do.

"Hmmm. I don't know. I do think the chocolate is all wrong, though. How about vanilla?"

I tell her that that's what I'm being told.

Then...

"You know, I don't mean to critisize, but is that a 'present'?"

"Yes."

"Uh-huh."

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just that, well...everything else is kind of in primary colors. Do you think it fits in?"

I stare at the present that took me two hours to make work as a start button.

"Here's a thought, hun. Why don't you use the present for the start window and a cake or cupcake for the start button? Except make the cake vanilla...and the present needs to be in primary colors."

As she goes on, I grab a cigarette and head for the backdoor.

"You could do that, right?"

"You...uh..grr..you don't know what I went through to make what I have work. It's not as easy as just switching."

"I'm sorry. You asked. I only wanted to help. I'm just being honest."

As I head for the backdoor with my cigarette, the baby looks at me and opens her mouth.

"GHAaaaaaAAAaaa! Gha Gha GHA gagagag..dadadada..Ahhhhaaaaaahhahh."

I mumble. "Yeah, no shit. You go explain to her why I don't show her what I'm working on."
