    Some great stuff here.

    Jim, Will's art deco stuff is really special.

    Gavin's sunflower is one of my favorites.

    Gail, some nice stuff from you. I like it.

    Chris's flower is another I've seen before and liked.

    It's all good!

    Gail-- I really like your designs! Very tasteful and unique... traditional-ish, but not traditional.
