Beautiful, beautiful. I can't afford it but the winner of this auction is going to be a very fortunate person.

I didn't think I was going to come up with an idea for your next layout but I just did :P How about a sort of dark circus theme? Not in a bright exciting tone, more like a run-down carnival feel. The main table area could be incorporated into a circus tent, one of the cl*censored*ic red-and-white-striped ones, shabby and patched up. Then you could use images of things like tightropes, juggling balls, those white and black face masks, balloons, flaming hoops, etc.

I don't know if animals would fit well into it, but if you like, maybe some elephants or lions or something with fancy circus attire. Same thing with clowns or mimes.

Eh. It looks alright in my head but I'm no good at explaining. Anyway I'm sure it would look great with your Victorian love worked into it.

Dawn ~ lol Robots! xD Thank you so much, and I have in fact been wanting to do a cotton candy type layout. ^^; It would be so cute, all blue and pink... :}

Reeses - WOW! Thank you so much for all the detail, obviously you put quite a bit of thought into that and I appreciate it so much, it's so fun to see creative people getting in on this project! =D *hugs* I love the idea, and I've been wanting to practice drawing dishes more. :3 That could really be cute~ Thank you!!

 Masked - WOW also! I LOVE the idea, and of course I would love to do something dark. Fantastic, and thank you so much also, for all the detail and thought you put into it, it definitely inspired me. =) 

Jzbelle - Thank you so much for the bid! =) *hugs*

I had no idea you guys would be so great at this contest thing lol! I'll have to get ahold of better prizes, maybe give away a few pets? Thank you everyone for contributing such great stuff! :3

Oh my. Now I really have to save up money and stop my spending urges. *nudges stocks* @_@ Gorgeous work. <3

And just another idea to add that might pique your interest:

Tea Time/Cafe. It could be a Japanese-style tea with cherry blossoms falling and little desserts. Or English tea on a table by a seaside view. Like a tranquil kind of theme with pastel colors?

Or, it could be cafe-oriented. There could be a menu which features the links and little foods for decoration. The background would be the cafe and the main text could go "on top" of a table as if it were the order. There could be human people as well.~ Or, [sorry for the rambling], a gothic-lolita tea where the main colors are dark yet adorable (black cats, laces, bows, frills, etc.). There are lots of variations.

Anyway, love your work. I look forward to seeing future auctions! :D

Neiru - Thank you so much, I love all of those ideas, and thank you for including so much detail! ^^ I'm very glad you like the layout also, I'm sorry I couldn't price it any cheaper, but maybe next time! ;)

 ShadowWolf199 & FoxCrazy - Thank you so much also! If only I was any good at drawing animals, lol! I am just rotten with animal anatomy, it's way out of my league. But thanks, those are adorable ideas! :)

Raychol, you are amazing! I would love that talent:)

Aw thanks so much Aria. -hugs- I'm glad I can share it with you guys atleast, lol

And woah, we might break 10mil? That would be sweeet. :]

D= ... -has no chance of earning Tu for auction- Oh well. DX Well, at least it's nice to stare at.  -hovers in front of first post wishing for own profile- Lol.

I had an idea but if somone else suggested it jsut ignore it XD

Music/ipod/mp3 player:

The backround/layout could be a sheet with musical notes on it and the little welcome thing could be a giant mp3.ipod and the text could go on the screen and if you want to be really complex you could make the next arrow button fore the switch songs make it switch text :D the little accesories you have could maybe be head phones or floating music notes or even a little music player with like maybe 5 songs requested by whomever. :D

Thanks so much shadowrider! :D A great idea and again, so much detail, I really appreciate it! ^^

And thanks Kirsti for  the bump! ^^ -hugs-

I just, today, realised that I posted this in the "Art Commissions" forum, instead of the "Graphic Commissions", which is where it probably belongs. =( I'm so stupid sometimes, sorry guys.

I <3 Ray! 8D

Bumps for joo! 

8D I <3 Kin!

Thanks luv! :3

I want to see the final product.

I'm so sorry that I disappeared guys, I forgot to update here also that I would be away. The coding still isn't finished cause I've run into several snags along the way, I may have to change the way this works completely because I can't get text to sit on that main image. Anyway, I'm going to leave bidding open for one more week while I try to get it figured out, then

So, bidding will officially close at midnight on Sunday, September 13th (Res time of course).
