Akarui-- I really like your second banner. I was thinking of using that pic for my banner, too, but decided on Papillon instead.
Strawbaby-- Another awesome banner! Such good entries. It's a good thing we *don't* vote, as I probably wouldn't be able to decide!

Hehe, Crazydiamond, thanks. I had the feeling someone could have used the second Galaxia picture, but the picture screamed to me "Give me a title! Bannerize me!" in a simple way :P .

Congratulations; Ayane, Strawbaby, and Tempest!! Those are all great banners! Banner contests are super-fun!

Be careful with this one, there is a bit of a pun involved. Dr. Spooner described his visit to a castle: "In the center of the fortress was the Palace Court. The gated entrance to this area was the court palace."

o_o I'm amazed that mine was one of the top three. The other ones were much nicer. :D; I'm pleasantly suprised. *changes her avatar*
And really, why shouldn't we be afraid? In case you haven't heard, life is terminal. Cigarettes will kill you. So will your cellphone. Your car is a deadly weapon and alcohol is a quiet killer. Don't lick the lead-based paint on the walls. Don't lick the back of a postage stamp and certainly don't lick any strangers! That will bring you down quickly indeed. Don't drink the water but don't drink less than eight glasses a day. Your enviroment is toxic, your natural resources are dwindling, your days are numbered, but what ever you do, don't panic! The stress, don't you know, will kill you.

Now this is awesome, not being home or at the computer all day, and seeing the banner change without Tiff yelling at me to change it to whatever. ^_^; Anyways, congrats to all the winners!
