Oh, and I created another one: don't know if yellow is a color for this purpose...

Hi, Prosperity!

It's really cute and a great idea.

How about using the farther away image of lots of eggs from the first photo (which I adore), but behind the titles, putting a box of a solid color, so you can still read the piece, but still see lots of colored eggs?

Also, I agree if there's any way to change the bells ribbon from red to one of your Easter colors that would make things look really cohesive.

Could you tell us more about the story of bells bringing Easter eggs? Such fun!

I like the look of all the eggs in the first photo, it is appealing, but maybe do something different with the "Happy Easter"- different color or ? Maybe what Jenn is suggesting? Cute idea.

I like the egg picture in the first one. Like others have said, change the bell colors if possible. As for the lettering use a pink, or light blue or yellow...carrying the theme colors from the color of the eggs in the first picture, that way you tie in a "color theme" for your book "cover". I wish I was as techie as you to be able to even do what you have done!

Jenn, I agree with your advice and I'd like to use the image with a great number of eggs but unfortunately, this picture is so small that I had to make it bigger and there are less eggs.

If I want to keep the number of eggs, I have to keep this image intact such as it is on the picture number one... and that is the problem: it looks so... handmade :-(

Tomorrow I'll be looking for a picture with lots of eggs but don't know if I'll find one...

About the bells, I put a pastel filter and their colors are less violent but Easter bells are normally represented by chocolate bells and I think that brown would not fit the colors of the cover ;-)))

Oh Mary, I tried with lots of colors but I have to download some new plugins for the editor: I'm never happy with the colors. Hope that I'll find a new plugin. Which color do you think about? I tried with pink (light, pastel, etc.) but it was ugly, I tried with black ; which was a good idea but not really fancy...

Here are two other covers I did.

Face cover

The same cover with an oil painted look:

Side cover

Well, I am sure that I'll finally will have a perfect cover and that's thanks to you !!!

Judith, I don't like the green picture any more, lol. The site is green and that is why I made a green cover, but the site is beautiful not the cover ;-)

Will follow your advice about the color of the letters. Will do it tomorrow and post as soon as it's done!

Oh, by the way, I'm not a techie: I use Paint.dot.net... which is the best editor out there: you just have to click on a plugin and it does the work at your place (well, not all the work but as much as I need).

I've been trying Photoshop for one month and downloaded tons of how to videos but... never understood how it works and the only thing I've been able to do with it was to open the picture in the editor. After that... NOTHING else ;-)

So, I chosen PDN and I'm happy with it.

Ok, I've made a new cover for the report.

I bought a picture and tried to create something better.

Here is it.

Will re-work on it a little bit since I'm not entirely satisfied but I think that the picture was so lovely that I couldn't use it...

Thanks for helping me to improve the pic ;-)

Oh, that's really turning out nicely! That last one seems to really be working well.

-Jenn

I like this newest one too, very nice.

You've got it! The last one is lovely. Great job on it. Luvs

I like the last one too! You are right, that is a great Easter/Spring picture!

Oh, I am late to vote.
I like number 1 and the last one I like, but change the font. It looks Asian.. not Easter...JMHO, lol

Kahtleen, I've changed the font and selected a curly one... It looks better now ;-)))

Here are two new covers I created: one has a plain orange side and I added the design of the front cover and filtered it.

Here is the plain orange one

Here is the one filtered

I like the new fonts and think that it's almost perfect ;-)

Perhaps the black fonts should be a smaller ?

What do you think about it ? Which one would I choose ?

They both look great, and the font made a big difference. I think the black is fine in size! Good job!

Thanks Kathleen!

I finally have a cover for the report and it's thanks to the wonderful people who helped me!

I have to be honest, if I did not post here, I'd never received such good advices and never bought the new picture!

And that is thanks to you all!

Thank you very much!

I love those...great job! Really nice!

You are amazing. I was liking most all of them, LOL, but that last one is definitely the WINNER.

hugs, Karen

Yes, the last one is perfect! Great job!! So much talent here. Hoping it rubs off on me!
Betty

Thanks for the help!

As a thank you for having been so helpful, here is an example of the header I chosen for the newsletter.

Jenn, you'll enjoy the article because it explains why bells are bringing eggs in our baskets ;-)))

It fits perfectly the ebook... I didn't know that the orange color could be so beautiful!
