Re: Some suggestions! 1st SHot with photoshop for DD's 2nd birthday invites
I noticed that the same happened with me in Shutterfly..they default to display the image as a 4x6 but when you view as a 5x7 it looks fine.
But...I would suggest that you order a sample to make sure you are happy with it.
I love the card...you did a great job! 
One other suggestion..maybe get rid of the fine print at the bottom of the M&M image. You might want to just use the dropper to get the same color above it and then use a fine paint brush to color over it.

Why don't you upload it to winkflash instead. I believe it's cheaper and they don't cut anything off.

Thanks for the tip!!
Do you think the wording looks too lost?

Looks great Michele! What about creating an M & M that looks like Gianna at the website??

That's really nice! I love the colors, not too babyish for a 2 y/o.

Not at all..I love how you added the shadowing (this is my new obsession). If anything maybe play with the font size if you want to have something to compare...but it really looks good.

That picture of the m&ms on the bottom looks a little stretched to me...
Maybe it's my eyes...

I was going to say the same thing. It looks skewed maybe from resizing?
The only thing I would suggest other than that is maybe make her photos in a circle with a colored border to keep with the M&M theme.
I think it look great & it's a terrific idea.

I thought it was just my eyes too! I think it looks stretched..DH insisted it didn't look stretched. I def have to play with that.
Would another picture of DD look too crowded? Any ideas? Should I put one of the m&m guys down there? instead of with the wording?

How about cropping out the bottom section, lowering it & making the words "Our Little M&M.." larger?

Re: Some suggestions? 1st SHot with photoshop for DD's 2nd birthday invites
Personally, I think I would put all the pictures on the bottom and put the wording on the top. On either side of the wording I would put pics of M&Ms.
How about this pic too?
I just want to add...I know what you're trying to do with the colors and I think that's great...but my eyes focus too much on the colors and not on her pictures. I would also try to make the pics bigger and the same size.

Just so i understand-So totally get rid of the bottom box and just making the whole side wording?
That would def work, then i could make the yellow and blue m&m a bit larger. I think i'd like that better. The card just seems a bit off balance to me with that box on the bottom..
i have some more work to do
I appreciate everyone's feedback! Thank you so much

That pic is cute!
I like that idea too.
I'm going to do it both ways.
I'll be bothering you ladies again
Thanks!

Re: Some suggestions? 1st SHot with photoshop for DD's 2nd birthday invites
Barb-what's the easiest way to do the ovals with the pics?
I have all the pics in separate layers. SHould the pic be below the oval, then make the shape over it, then cut out the middle so the pic shows through?
Thanks!
ETA: Sorry for all the questions, but this is my 1st time doing this in photoshop

Actually I just typed in M&M characters party into yahoo images search and that came up. I thought it would be cute to add somehow on your invites.

Thank you very much for thinking of me though and looking for images So Sorry i didn't say it sooner
I can take the m&m's out of the center of the plate right? Cause that's why i used the blue image underneath, since the mms are all dressed up for a party.
I use the magnetic lasso right?
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

I think you did a great job and love the pictures.
I like the suggestion Barb made also, with doing the pictures in the ovals to go with the theme.
