Well, now wasn't that quite a lot of work!  I hope you all enjoy the pictures these wonderful people provided me with!  It was quite fun opening new rmails to see them!

This has turned out to be quite a wonderful contest!

Now, the moment you have all been waiting for...

::stretches::

Drumrolls please!...

For fifth place in the first annual Geo's Blue Roses contest... I give you...

Deedlitmon!

A wonderful piece of artwork, the purple and blues just beautifully mixed to provide an awesome shading.  I could probably look at this vibrant rose for hours on end.

Alas, my schedule provides me with little opportunity for that.

To honor her artwork and skill, Deedlitmon has been awarded the fifth place price of 250,000 tu!

Everyone give her a hand!

Fourth place goes to...

Kittz!

This image is one of those that is simply irresistable with the "aww, how adorable!" factor.  Everyone loves kittens!  

Who can resist that cute face?

And to reward Kittz for her work and wonderful imagery, she recieves the award of 500,000 tu and five eggs with a rarity of 1% or higher of her choice! 

Keep up that great work!

For third place, I give you...

RIYO!

Lovely roses in water color! Wow, these blew me away! 

It was really worth the wait to get this entry!

For her awesome artistic talent (and the fact she made the deadline :P) Riyo has been awarded 1,000,000 tu and two seasonal eggs of her choice!

I can almost smell those roses. oooo...

For second place, I give you the awesome artwork of...

ZIVA!

Oh my, that tiger is just looking back at me!  I think he likes me though.

What do you think?

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I just can't say that enough!
