Dude Mo! This is awesome! I love the edges and the way the color kind of dies out as you get into the middle so it focuses more on the flower. I'm trying to find something to point out so that it makes this a review, but I can't xD. It's pretty awesome as is. Great job!

I like this, Mo; "Colour is the seed of life." That's absolutely true.
First of all, I think the lines should be cleaned up a little bit; you can still do that.
The flower is shaded nice and smoothly, but the background...I like that it's shaded to bring attention to the flower, but the dark parts seem to end too suddenly and not fade in. This can also be easily fixed without having to start again.
I do like that all the swirly things aren't symmetrical; it gives my eyeballs more interesting things to look at without seeing the same thing.
I think you did a good job here!
Take care and keep up the good work! Vanadis

Okay so this is a really cute picture. I have a few things for you.
1. I think the vine that goes up from the flower should be a little more subtle and 'in-the-background-is' because it distracts me from the title. 2.As Vanadis said, you need to clean up your lines. 3.This is entirely my opinion, but I think it would look better if you added more detail to the flower. As in, maybe some symmetric pattern on the petals or each petal filled with some graphical message. Anything. Let your creativity run wild.
Good work! Keep it up! ~Lava

I have to agree with Vanadis that the lines are a little rough, but the softness of the colours is lovely. The vines should of gone around the words I feel. Or should of just kept going, because it creates quite a mess with the words. Also, a line of symmetry would of been great here. Create symmetrical sides would of taken a bit more work but would of looked great.
Keep drawing,

Your piece is very beautiful! You do need to clean up your lines as others have said, but the overall design is clean. I don't like how one of the swirl lines covers over/under the "u" in colour though - just makes the wording less clear. Keep drawing though! I love this kind of style - very fun to make. Looking forward to seeing other drawings from you!
I find no greater joy than I do when I'm writing or publishing others creative works.
This is really pretty -- very spring-ish. It makes me smile! Only thing, I wouldn't have put the vines over the words; I'd probably have intertwined it around the letter instead.Also! On the note of the lines being rough, just try to "blend" the colors smoother by rubbing it with your fingertip.

That's a fantastic use of colour there Mo.! It reminds me of the summer... haha, anyway *likes*. This is a beautiful piece of art! I think the way you've incorporated the writing aswell is simple and effective, it adds to the 'boast' of the picture. It's almost like a 'boast of natural beauty' or something. It's lovely!
A nitpick I have personally is to centre the text more next time as I'm a sucker for symmetry with things like this. Apart from that however, I have to say that your use of colour is brilliant and I'd disagree with Juni in saying you've blended it almost flawlessly!
