Looks like Valene Maarten, but I assume it says Valerie?<br /><br />To me, it looks like a Christmas story for kids 6-12.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-89852528317893858222011-04-11T15:16:05.040-07:002011-04-11T15:16:05.040-07:00SJ's logline has put anything else out of my m...SJ's logline has put anything else out of my mind.<br /><br />This is an attractive cover, and it's clearly a Christmas story, but it feels like something's missing. I'm not sure what it is; imagery that would give more information about the story itself, maybe.Colette Dukehttp://www.coletteduke.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-25085767783155954002011-04-11T08:12:32.724-07:002011-04-11T08:12:32.724-07:00Cute holiday story!

Her boyfriend accepts the "gift," but what he really wanted was an iPad.<br /><br />Just kidding.<br /><br />I never thought it was such a bad little cover. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.S.J.

Both are hard to read in the thumbnail. The lettering needs to pop more off the background. The letters either need a drop-shadow effect and/or some sort of outlining to help them.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882910901554365995noreply@blogger.com
