Btw, I noticed that in many of your cards you used some unusual colour combo. Say this card stock (floral paper) is in grayish blue with some dark burgandy red accent. And the main subject (the heart) ...

Like Fibbi's saying, my 0.00000000002 cents:
You combined few patterns on 1 card, I guess that's what something other than Fibbi mentioned about colour combo.  Floral, strips, and the die cut combined added to that striking effect.  Well may be, I like simpler cards.  I keep myself focusing on 1 or max 2 accents on the card, and the others are background supporting that accents, trying to keep others from taking away visual point from it.  It's just my little thought about it and yeah art is very subjective, hope you don't mind.

Did you make those cards Fibbi?  Nice!  The second one looks like Japanese ones, simple but not plain.  Do you know how to make that wrinkle edge?  I so want a sewing machine to sew my cards!
BTW, Yes lighting when taking cards is very important I find.  I still cannot take nice pictures like this.  I even thought about buying a light box just to take card pictures.  (another $99)

No those cards are from the flickr group.
Have you tried out Picasa software? It's free and very easy to use. You can adjust the lighting of the image by dragging the line. Very easy. ...

Hm... I have installed it but never make use of it.  I should try it sometime.  I did use the Microsoft office pictures at work to change the lighting but sometime kind of strange (if you go to my blog, you can see those Christmas card pictures, some of them are very red....)  I gotta play around,  but taking pictures in natural light (during the day) is definitely the least complicated.
