Danita said:I've often seen the "white flower + red flower = pink flowers" on simple hybridizing diagrams.
I quickly tried a couple of things but it's hard to get anything to work/read well when they are the tiny 32x32 microbadge size.

I really like the first image but only have one pink flower instead of 3.

I've updated the badge. Unfortunately the white flower doesn't show up very well.

Would this work for Earthworm Lover badge, or perhaps this little guy popping out of the dirt?

I can't work with an image uploaded to the site. When you upload it, the ATP system converts it to jpeg and compresses it and it's no longer fit for use as a microbadge. If you have the image as a 32x32 png file you can email it to me at [email protected]

I think it's a Gif file would that work?

It has to be png or easily converted to png. Gif sometimes work but they are usually low quality images.

How about a camera?

Love the camera idea, I'd vote for a old timey looking one (even though none of us use them anymore).

I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

Could the camera badge possibly say Photographer instead of just camera?

My first thought was "Garden Photography"

@Dave for the Midatlantic badge, would it be possible either to make the blossom pink , or make its background some color other than white? The blossom is so pretty and we want to make sure people can see it against the background!
