Graphics set for a website

I'm all grumpy about this one because I was trying to get it accepted in a place that sells graphic sets for the person who made them, and they did not accept it. I thought it was pretty good. It has to be in that format though. One main background (the bear heads), a side background (the flowers), and a content background (the beige solid coloured one). Then there has to be buttons, a view cart and add cart button, and a banner (the big image with the teddy bear). It has to be like that because the place sells websites where the person who buys it just purchases one of the graphics sets and puts everything into place. A DIY website kit, type of thing. So now I have to either let it sit there and rot, try to convince a client who wants a site done to use it, or try to sell the set alone and let the person use it to build their own website.

So what do you all think? Is it really not good enough to be included? Should I even bother with it?

Did they get specific about what they didnt like or not want in it?

Nope. I just got no response, and it was not up in their current sets for sale. I followed the rules to a T. All of the graphics are named and sized exactly as they are supposed to be and all the needed ones are there. That means they must not have thought it was good enough. Which is why I am wondering if I am just being blinded. I think it is pretty good, but maybe that is just me. I usually make websites using a lot less graphics and more tables (makes for a much faster loading page, plus usually cleaner and more professional-looking), so maybe it really is just not that good for a graphical based website. The themes they sell are country-related, so I know that is not the problem. My main reason for posting it is to see if it is even worth trying to sell on my own, or if I should just scrap it.

I would think so. I mean you put time and effort into it. Then again i'm not all that much of really skilled graphics person. I mean if it were me that would require me to do less work so it is possible to sell to the lazy peoples like me that have monies.

Well, I know I put the time and work into it, but what I mean is: Do people think it is good enough to sell, or am I just disillusioned here? Good graphic sets will sell because people either don't know how to make them or don't want to. But I want to make sure it is good enough to even bother with. It just makes me wonder since it was not approved, you know.

jeez Ia lways hate commenting on your dear cuz you might think I am just being nice...but who cares...here is my comments

I absolutely love how you have the cartoony background then move into the textured finish of the bear by the fence...friggin awesome

I always love the work you do though

The only part that I felt was a bit off was the way the two flat backgrounds met up...but I still don't see how they didn't buy it...jerks
