I've just uploaded some CD jewel case designs for custom CDs made for Lego related (instructions and catalogs) scans (many of us burn them for ourselves, don't we?) to the brickshelf gallery.

Interesting work. I suggest eliminating theme-specific whenever it is used as elements have a way of appearing in other themes. Even decorated tiles that seemingly have no use whatever outside of the theme where they appeared may well migrate. For (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
