Two similar submissions, playing with the same words a bit (I couldn't decide;;)

Hello hello! Thank you for your patience! Without further ado, the winners are:

Third prize - @Fraey, with this entry:

Well done to our winners, and also to everybody who participated! I'm not exaggerating when I say that there were absolutely masses of brilliant entries, and picking my favourites was a real challenge. Thank you all for taking part!
