JAN - FEB Challenge! Romance!!

[earth_element]

I have a "lovey" pattern that I've made, but I won't be stitching him anytime soon as I have many WIP's pieces on the go, and he's a large piece 180 x186. (so a 10 x 10.3 inch)

Hi all!

New to the board, but I've just finished my submission for the Romance Challenge, my first self-patterned cross stitch. Whew! Shortly after starting to read the blog and discovering 8-bit stitching, I saw and loved Wall-E and knew when I saw the adorable end credits, and knew I had to stitch some of the quasi-8-bit scenes. The announcement of the challenge was extra incentive to finally get started, as was the impending V-day holiday! I took some screencaps, put them together, and after nights of tedious redrawing of pixels, I had a pattern! After several weeks of stitching, I finally had an (almost on time) Valentine's Day gift for my bf.
18 count black Aida, about 180x120px (stitches) (about 8.5x10.5", unfortunate for finding a frame )
I was strongly tempted to do some backstitching in parts for extra detail, but am kinda strict and thought that might violate it's whole 8-bitness.

It's not too late to submit an entry is it?
I'm really close to being done with mine and I've gotta find my camera too. Hopefully I can put it up tomorrow.
What's the deadline?

Hope things finish well! Deadline seems to be Feb 28th.
