I just took a stroll through your gallery Brent. Wow! I am in awe over your cards. They are quite unique, full of interesting designs, nice colours and well balanced. Thank you for sharing your work. I have to admit I don't understand graphic design and how you make those backgrounds...but I sure like them.
