Sorry for the late reply; I've been busy, and haven't been able to get to the bulk of my messages lately.
Yeah, I really do need to switch to a new base, for this stamp and some of my other old ones. The base I used on this one was good when I only had MS Paint. Now that I have paint.net and have discovered transparency, I can use better bases, so I need to revamp my older stamps. xD
Ah, I hadn't noticed that. You're right, it does look sloppy like that. When I switch to the new base, I'll have to redo the text.
I'm not really sure how to do a smooth gradient.
Thanks for the critique!
It was a nice help.
