Celebration Theme
I made a new theme dedication to my birthday - entitled “Celebration“. It’s quite obvious isn’t it? *lol* I’ll be turning 19 on January 30! 
I even made a birthday countdown in the menu bar. Credits to Elouia for the php countdown script. Oh, this particular theme especially the header is graphic intensive. Please wait for it to load properly. It’s the very first time I featured myself in a layout. 
It’s a picture taken on my 18th debut last year. And that little girl is me when I was about 5 years old.
This theme is tested in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It’s friendly to both like all my other themes. There is a subtle difference however in the two browsers. You may notice that the pink ribbons on each of the navigation menu cannot be found in IE. 
Well, I tried but I can’t make it work properly so I just tweaked the CSS a little with a hack. Thanks so much to Stock Exchange for some of the pictures I used. Also to Vanilla Dreams Brushes for adding a little spark to my “blend”. *hehe*
I also added several 88 by 31 link buttons in the links section. You can now use those to link to Forever Gretch.
