Aww, that's great
Such a nice gesture to such a nice person!

As for what the anchor is... uh... a cyclops smiley?

Cool button... Is the idea to use as an avatar or...?

As for what the anchor is, I would guess the needle of a compass? (The button as a whole being the compass, the anchor showing north?)

Was just wondering if perhaps you had a specific use in mind... Anyway, very cool.

Hmmm, more guesses: The anchor is what is used to keep a boat from floating away. The Anchor is a bar in Buffalo often credited with "inventing" chicken wings. Hmph... ok, color me stumped.

Are we talking the anchor itself or the button as a whole? I could see the button as a whole being a pocket watch, perhaps...

The anchor itself... a tattoo??

But I have now had about fifty guesses so unless I somehow got smacked with the dumb luck stick I shall now sit back and allow others to have a chance.

Just as my first girlfriend told me years ago: "Keep trying, you'll get it eventually."



Nice use of existing material... I hadn't seen that particular pic but probably would have taken just as long if I had... My eyes naturally strayed lower.

Haha, nice little game you played there! That was fun.

And I love these little buttons you're making! They're so nice! And thank you for making the anchor ones, they're so cute!

I also really love your Pyro Nympho button. It looks great with the yellow/red on the rim.

I was about to say the same thing. Really like the colors on that button. They all look very cool.

Neat thing about the Pyro button is you almost have the illusion that the figure is within the button, a 3Dish effect...

I give nothing away! That'll be three-fiddy!

If I was less scrupulous I would totally steal this!!!!! (errr, ignore my sig....)

These are all very neato-keen. Me like.

For some reason though, when I was first stealing the C... errr, I mean checking out the C... my first thought was C is for Cookie! and inevitably I got a picture in my head of Cookie Monster chomping down on hundreds of cool C buttons. Errr, yeah. I'm strange in about twelve different ways, I know

And though I love all the buttons (Hmmm, will have to find something to use the C as a clickable for someday so it can truly be a usable button it deserves to be) I think the Pyro one is still the only one giving me the 3Dish effect I mentioned before. I think it may have to do with the whole image being inside, perhaps? Or maybe the glow about the image? Maybe someone with more technical skills could comment... Or maybe it's just me. But 3Dish or not, I'm loving the buttons.
