I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you meant by "pls la dun use templet"... can you elaborate more on that?
EDIT:
I think you misunderstood that I'm ripping off another person's template and just putting in some flowers and that's it? Well to clarify, every single pixel on that image I posted up here, is 100% conceived from my own photoshop, on my own computer. The flowers come from google images, which I believe are copyrighted, in which I will have to discard sooner or later in favor for original flower images, but the other things you see such as the layout, the ribbon, the wording and every single thing is my own work, not a work of others where i copied. I have the PSD file if you want to look at it.
On second thought, I think that's a compliment from you. To be able to fool people into thinking "this looks like a pro template... can't possibly come from a malaysian. he must've ripped it off somewhere", I think that pretty much gives me an extra boost of confidence

Thanks!

4 envy the others! dats the key to success!
um done here...all the best to u 2 become a professional designer...pls take my honest word for ur own good and in da future, ditch the taking self pride thingy...so childish and u will never go anywhere wiff that attitude...
