Just smash text on there and play around with bevel / emboss, and, if necessary, inner glow.

OMG Bradley Hand ITC? Seriously? That font is ick. There are a million of other super cute fonts that would go perfectly with the theme for this. The bottom flowers could also use a bit of touching up, especially with the edges. I would also curve them or just figure out a better placement for them. They're just kind of there.

^ This. Tone down the vector stripe thing in the background (can't think of the proper term for it).

Yeah, take off the stroke on the text. You can try adding a little drop shadow or something to make it stand out. I agree with Natalia on the font, try something a bit more different like oh idk, Jane Austen or Yummah Strawberries (only two "cute" fonts I can think of right now). For the metal text thing, try playing around with gradients, bevel&emboss, and possibly some textures. You can always try sites like PSD Tuts+ for tutorials on metal text, or that other site that has like two D's (i forgot what it was called). It's pretty good, just needs a little adjusting and def remove the sunburst, it's too overrated.

LOL @ Kristina's response but I second it. And everyone else's. This is how I see it: the top gives off a medieval type of vibe where the bottom half gives off a feminine vibe. Total opposites. There's too much going on at the top with the swirls and wings. Use a different, prettier font and make it more feminine.

QUOTE(' post='3255386 @ Oct 13 2009, 07:05 PM) 16 in the shield. "Onceupon a time a little girl wanted to be a princess". No need to write it's a party. It's obvious. Stating obvious about obvious feels tacky. thank you  and who's "Kristina" i don't know you people by real name ...when you refer to people use their board names lol Stay Up -1- Subliminal |

I absolutely love your design, very appealing to the eye. I think for the flowers they should be curved on the bottom, because when a flower blooms it curves upwards. Unless you wanted the flowers to be designed that way, I still love the design!
For the shield, I think you should make the text pop out for the viewer. Try it out and see if you like it.Convert your text to a shape.. go to edit transformation, then choose perspective. Lol I probably told you the wrong steps but you will find it.=) Maybe also you can add the word sweet along with the 16
Reason for edit: Please edit your original post instead of double-posting. -Gabrielle (Elletricity)

That font is not the best.. I can barley read it. I like your fist design better. The 16 doesn't stick out so much to me.

to be honest, all the gradients used in the pictures will not even look that good when you print it out.

 Because i'm way too lazy to detail type everything out. Also, rethink the font. Just browse around. |

^Something less cursive, like the default Segoe Script font or hell, maybe even French Script MT. Idk, just something less cursive.

i think the sunburst needs to blend into a solid color from the center to the edge. and give it a glow. you could just select it and feather it and delete.
