Description The blood-red Ruby is one of the traditional birthstones for the month of July, and what I consider to be the most classically romantic stone. Hence the rose theme.

Roses are a personal symbol of mine as well as my favorite flower. Since my last name is Rose, they've kind of followed me in one way or another all my life.

The model for the Ruby Fairy is the stunning

Oh I really like rubies. Aside from bright red being the most passionate color, I once heard rubies were thought to be closely linked to "heart's blood", and ever since I couldn't dissassociate the romance from them. Rubies=Red=Romance

Erm, excuse-me? I know I asked this before, but it has been worrying me... I'm thinking about asking someone to make a layout with either the Ruby or Garnet fairy. The layout would be for free, and there would be credited for you.

There's still no problem with this?

Thanks a lot!

redheaded-step-child In reply to risingdreamer [2007-06-10 22:23:58 +0000 UTC]

That sounds perfectly fine. As I mentioned before, I only have a problem with people using my art for commercial purposes, and if they don't credit me. You're very welcome to use it in a free layout.
