Hi guys,

I'm doing a poll...I need your help in choosing my Christmas card picture. I can use both, I guess, but if you think one looks better than the other, let me know. The 4x5.25 card is just a front that I will mount on a hand-stamped card, and the long card is the card in itself.

Here they are...

and...

Let me know which pic you like best and any other constructive criticism you may have!! Thanks bunches!


BTW, the credits are: the top card - all from Sweet Genevieve Designs's Midnight Clear kit and her grunge overlay.
bottom card - paper from Vicki's Raspberry Cocoa kit, words from Sweet Gen's Designs Midnight Clear kit, and the doodles are from Tia Bennett's font Peace All Around. Other words are using the font Porcelain and Book Antigua. TFL!!!

Oh I love them both!! But the one on the bottom shows the smiling faces of your dear angels better! I'd use both if I were you!!!
:D

Uh oh, I am going to be the monkey wrench in this poll. I am going to have to say the first one. I know you are very Christian minded and the first one just seems to capture the joy and blessings you must feel with the season. Even though it is posed, it doesn't feel posed.
Both pictures are wonderful, but I get the feelings of a Holy Christmas more from the top.

I'm going to be the second odd one. hehe I like the top one. I like that it has a border and the dark inking around the very edge, but most of all the photo shows the reason for the outfits and it is just too cute! :)

I liked the top but guess I'm outvoted

If you choose the bottom - the cropping looks a bit off - like there is too much empty space at the left. Maybe extracting figures and applying tad bit of radial blur or something to the bkd would look cool.

I like the first pic.
I know the second one is a closer look at the kiddos, but I love the layout and look of the first card.
The second card doesn't catch my eye so much. There's something "not quite" there with the printing on the second one.
I'm not sure what, but that's my 2 cents.

Both pics are quite cute....

Maybe the second pic with the first layout...hum....that could be an option too.

myopinion - the second one shows too-much-teeth (they may hate you if you publish that one!!!!!), so my vote is for the first one, which actually presents the sentiment!
