Getting some weird artifacts in the drop shadow at the top on Lion and Chrome 13.0.782.99 beta attached a screenshot. http://i.minus.com/ibV6ug.png

LOL that's the best point of criticism so far. Unless I misunderstand what you're referring to, those "artifacts" are in fact decorative elements intended to echo the rather flowery logo. Some people love 'em -- but others find them like motes of sand in their eye or itches they can't scratch.

I personally like it, except for the flowers under the header that seem cut off, and the logo seems to need some clean-up. Maybe just leaving the top ornament on the "d" and the ending ornament on the last "e" could do the trick.

Thats funny, I thought Lion was acting up. So yeah, you guys should perhaps think a second time about those :)
