I see that the 2011 TF Kinkade piece for this Christmas is a masterpiece of adjusted imagery.
The actual Kinkade piece, as used in the TF "Resource Guide" May-July, looks as if it is a complete fabrication of 2D creativity while the floral images, especially when comparing std. with the next step-up, deluxe, have the stamp of "photoshop" all over them.
As for the pricing on this all-around piece, in particular the deluxe version with seemingly 3 each red and white spray roses + other floral, using the WS mark-up structure and assuming Christmas flora prices Dec 2011 as in Dec 2010 - which is very wishful thinking I believe, this is a continuation of the unrealistic price vs. image these people peddle to the consumer.
