messedwithyahead: Thanks so much I am glad you like my gallery. As in where did I get the idea for the checkered flag I'm not exactly what image your talkin about because I don't have any "flags". But i am just gonna assume ur talking about the only image with a checkerboard pattern. My sig that says m2lucky, and anyways I'm not exactly sure where I got the idea, but i thought the text would look really cool with it. the text also somehow reminded me of like a 50's diner and I imagined a checkered floor with it. I hope that anwered your question
