I know that Christmas was more than two months ago, but I didn't finish this in December, but because I put so much work into it, I wanted to share it anyways.
In 2010, I was new to the emoticon community and I lurked in the corners. I had no friends in the emote community at Christmas time, or any time in December of that year.
In the one year since then, I have made more friends than I can count. It's almost like I meet someone new every day, and I love the community. I am so proud to be part of it.
This is my thank you to all of the friends I have made over the past year.
Unfortunately, due to time and space restrictions, I wasn't able to put in the OC of everyone whom I have met over this past year, but please don't be upset if you're not on here.
Originally the lights on the tree were going to be animated, but because of the enormous amount of colors in this image, it wasn't possible to save it as a .gif and still keep everything looking pretty. I have a WIP of the lights blinking in my folder that I may come back to if anyone wants to see it.
But of course! I'm glad you like it. <3
It's super awesome!
