For those familiar with Twitter, the social networking site that limits posts to 140 characters, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I entered my Twitter page in the Twitter Background Gallery contest in the Photograph category and I just learned that it is featured! I have no idea what I would win if I get the most votes, but that doesn’t matter. I’m simply giddy to get recognized for my design ideas.

The photo I use is from World Tumbling Champion, Jim Bertz.  It was shot during my competition days and it’s of Jim and his teammates – my friends – doing handstands in the street. It was probably taken in the 70’s and has a wonderful vintage quality. I love the photo! Then, of course, I had to create a design around the photo. It was fun and I’m proud of my Twitter page.

It’s the second time I’ve entered a creative idea online. The first was the Obama photoshop contest on The Indecider.com where I gave The Prez a front row seat at my wedding last October. I posted about it recently, and if you recall I won that contest! So, maybe I should consider new career options …

Anyway, for those of you who Tweet, please go to @TwitterBGallery and vote for @Demisdouble background in the Photograph category.  I would greatly appreciate it!

THANK YOU!
