For me, I'll click on a card if it is unique. Could be a stamp I've never seen before, and interesting layout, great use of ribbon, whatever. 99% of the time if I click something, I will comment on it as well.

Most often, it an eye-catching layout or color combo. A clear gallery picture is important!

I'm with Krystie, if a clear photo is taken, it makes it much easier to see details from a thumbnail, and more than likely, I'll want to look even closer so I'll click on it! Also, I do tend to commend on challenge cards most of the time, because thats where i hang out, lol! But that doesn't mean I won't comment on other cards! Okay, that didn't make much sense, but I just woke up, lol!

I gotcha...I do tend to hang around the card sketch challenge so that is where I mostly go too but I ususally start out my day in the most recent added to the gallery. I like to see what everyone is doing.

I usually only use the gallery if I am thinking about purchasing a stamp set. Other than that I usually just look at people's blogs for inspiration. I have been thinking about starting a gallery, but for now I've stuck with the blog

opps...not sure if thats helpful

if the thumbnail catches my attention i click. i also have been trying to increase my comments ... probably because i just started my gallery and now more truly appreciate the comments other make on mine. i also notice how many comments one card has and try to make comments on those that have fewer. really its just what catches my eye, though! good thread

Usually it's the colors that catch my eye.

Usually the color in the thumbnail is what catches my eye first, but also if there's an unusual shape I might click through.

I like to click on people's cards that don't get alot of comments and then check out their gallery too! I also browse the challenge cards each day, and I have a few favorite artists that I look for too! I doesn't matter to me is it's made with old or new stamp images or what colors are in it. I do like unique stuff too!

I click on cards that are made with stamp sets that I already have to see what other people are doing with the same set. I also click on eye catching colours or ones that use a certain technique I'm interested in learning. I think I click on just about everything! I haven't been commenting on any cards since I didn't know how to untill a few days ago.
