I got some very useful comments from this thread:
Many of you seemed to think that the birds didn’t relate to the subject sufficiently. So I decided to re-do it with a different approach.
I went for something more abstract and more creative:

^ It looks even better on paper because a lot of small details are left out and somehow it works out well. (Also, in the above link it looks blury because I had to change the resolution).
Anyway, what do you think?
Cheers.
P.S. This is the first time I was able to use orange, yellow and green together in the same design without it turning-out ugly to my liking… But what do you think?
Also, you might be wondering how I did the weird looking splashy thingy… It’s actually done in ActionScript.
[EDIT] JPAG wanted the code for the splashy thing, so, I’ve attached it. Just save the content of the text file as Anemone.as and you can use it like a class file. In my design, I superimposed 3 “anemones” of different colors. Please note that this code isn’t fool-proof; it was only designed for my personal use and so it’s a quick thing. [/EDIT]
[EDIT] I’m getting somewhat mixed comments about the card… Some people seem to be saying that it’s “perfect” or very nice, while others seem to be saying that it’s way too busy. Most seem to think that it’s too busy and I’m guessing that it’s because the “white” background looks too busy with too many shades. Luckily for me though, most of the shades don’t even turn up on the printed version of the card. I’d like it to be confirmed though; was it the excessive shading that was bothering you or something else? K thanks. [/EDIT]
