Hello dsudman,
Thank you for the feedback and rank. I've now submitted a version that has no circle, but keeps the kids in there, as you liked them. I also read that you're looking for creative designs that do not incorporate a heart, so I'll get to work on something appropriate for that approach too.
On a personal note, I deeply admire what you're doing. It is a wonderful organization. I hope this contest goes exceedingly well for you.
Have a wonderful morning!
Regards,
Jen
