DESIGN; about this layout...
Following Himeno Awayuki's (unintentional) multiple-year stay on the front page, here we have... flowers. Hibiscus, to be exact. I actually really like hibiscus, and hibiscus print, so it was a delight to find an awesome dingbat font that serves up just that -- hibiscus flowers.

Also, after three layouts in which it has been noted, I have accepted the reality that the "clean, minimalist" layout format is apparently just my design aesthetic.

On to the credits; the hibiscus flowers came from the aforementioned Hisbiscus dingbat font, which can be found here.

This layout is shockingly sparse when it comes to brushes, which is sort of a new thing for me. I really like the font I used (Birth of a Hero.) The few little brushes that were involved (that barely visible halftone pattern and the vintage swirlies) both came from the wonderful brush site at celestial-star.net.
