You'll never guess why I rendered this image. ;-)

I don't know whether the monitor I used while designing this had an 
unusual gamma figure or something, but it looks really really wrong on 
every other monitor I see it on. It looks much too pale and washed out.

When I printed it out, the background just came out flat yellow. Rather 
a pitty after the number of hours it took to render. :-S

When presented to my mother (in printed form), all she could say is that 
the boxes should have little bowes on them. I hadn't actually designed 
this as anything but abstract - but I think maybe making them into gift 
boxes wouldn't be too bad! :-)

You can tell your mother, from me. She is right, the boxes should have
little bows on them. It looks good on my laptop but if I reduce the
brightness it has a more seriousness look, more gravity, you might say
:-)
