Thing #6: A few snags, but fun overall!

So, today I explored some of the 3rd-party/mashup sites for Thing #6.
The first one I used was Flickr Colr Pickr, found here.  It was so cool!  I was a bit disappointed that some of the photos were just fields of (essentially) solid color, instead of being particular objects having said color.  Ah well.  
 
I did find a really cute pink photo, though!  I couldn't figure out why I couldn't save it onto my computer.  Turns out, it's copyrighted.  I thought all the photos on this 3rd-party site were for public use!  In case you are curious, you can find it here.  I just love the color, the texture, and how close the objects seem to be to the camera.
Next, I was super excited to try out the trading card creator!  Try it, you'll love it!  For some reason, regardless of what portion of the photo I chose to be visible if cropped, the trading card creator rotated it.  Again, things didn't go exactly as I planned, but I actually like the result:

  1. I think if you save the picture turned the correct way and use that copy of the file, it might come in correctly?

  3. Great Gobs of Cotton Candy, Batman: That's a whole lot of pink for one picture! Quite frankly, I'm surprised you like it -- it has a certain nose-itching quality about it... I feel the need for a claritin coming on!

  4. Maybe I was just feeling bold after going to a party last night at a house that had 2 cats...and I had zero sneezes!

  5. I loved the pepto pink photo! I am inspired by your trading card. I am dually impressed that you have a cute picture of yourself. I didn't know about your love of football game music. DA DA DA DADADA HEY! I just noticed that your Avator has really sexy legs but I'm still not sure about that neck photo of you. This blogging stuff is fun!
