Description Here's a theme in preparation for the Chinese New Year - Year of the Tiger.

Made with as much auspicious colouring and symbology as I could muster :]

Top = Tiger looking to the future with a sunflower and holiday wishes all bordered by a gold trim and coins.

Bottom = Red with gold trim - overlay of a floral lotus motif and a chinese motto 'Say goodbye to the past year and welcome the coming new year'

Scroll bar = old chinese coins threaded onto a red ribbon.

Menu Icons = Chinese Lanterns with symbols for: Success, fortune and longevity. (made from paths in PS)

Cheat icons = Walking tiger, tiger head (normal), tiger head (snarling)

As usual - all icons and scrollbar have transparency it's just a web display thing that they appear otherwise (likewise for any JPEG artiacts you see!)

Thanks for the awards ... very much appreciated

Wow, very elegant. I like the soft glow on the lanterns and the tiger cheats are quite clever. Definitely a well-wishing, good-fortune theme.

Very nice indeed. Maybe button highlite can be a bit stronger? But that's my pref. I like the theme.

Thanks - I was very torn over how much 'glow' ... settled for subtle :]

It's not just the beauty of the theme, its layout, its vivid colors... it's the fact that there's been so much meaning and thought put behind
the parts and pieces of the theme that I appreciate (though it looks awesome nonetheless). Wonderful work!

Thanks - it started as a smattering of ideas but when I finally managed to get them into a collection I realised I had a lot of work to do but it would
look quite neat ... acme out well in the end :]
