thank you for letting me know! i don't think i'll be able to sleep now
it's 1am and i should have been in bed hours ago! 
Yyyaaaassssss! So excited for this!
Howdy! I was just wondering if there is a limit to the number of submissions or if we can submit multiple entries.
Hello happy birthday DC i would like to enter the competition but i live in qatar i can enter??
And where can we find the amimation characters? And should we use them??
ok, I guess I am first - I could not get the marquee font variation to work on all of the letters, but here's what I have, everything is from Design Cuts. If I can figure out how to get the marquee to show up on all the letters, may resubmit it. I am assuming, just one entry per person?
cheers everyone!
Yes, it's open to people worldwide!
You don't need to use the 'amimation characters'.
Thank you so much for this opportunity! As its snowing here today I went with a winter theme. All images are from DesignCuts. Happy 5th and hopes for many more.

Happy Birthday guys.. here's to the next 5!
