//Edit: Reduced colours to 35 from 60

For a pixelling contest activity on the Quilting Bee site, it's been a long time since I last used PixelJoint, but I think I've changed a number of things in how I pixel since starting.

I've now taken into account hand picking all my colours, also dithering by hand, smooth outlines that are always 1px in width and I personally like to add a highlighted inner outline although I'm sure most here will advise against it ;P I'm aware I'm still not at the stage where I pick a pre-made palette or even count my colours, but at least the placement is a little more thought out, I hope. I think the left arm of the star is a little funny too but I think the thing I still struggle with a lot if the idea of pixels on an angle.

The size limits were 40px by 40px and 30kb max. Since I wanted the drip animation to loop I also tried to fade it out with a dithering effect to make up for there being no semi transparent pixels.

I think it looks fantastic, I've been looking for rainbow stuff on the site all night and this cupcake (surprisingly) is the best I've found other than CK's avatar.

I don't know why people would complain about it having too much color, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for!

the icing animation could be less liquidy and more thick and droopy.

 I've gone through and reduced the colours by nearly half now : )

 I think it might be the highlighted inner edge that does that... I've done that on all the pieces except the longscape challenge entry and pokemon card mniature. It could be edited to bring down the number significantly but at the time I made these I never counted the colours I used XD

You must have some duplicate colours in there somewhere. I eyeballed about 20 but the file has 60 :o

Your other work has these issues too.
