To all those people pointing it out... yes, I should have just used the pipette in Canva itself to pick the color. I'm never entirely sure what is a Pro feature and what isn't, so tried to play it safe. For example, there's a handy background removal feature in Canva now but it's only available to Pro subscribers, last time I checked. And in fact it's not as good as the third-party site I recommend, and often doesn't remove the background as cleanly. In this specific case though, yes, for sure, use the feature right there in Canva instead! I'll try and remember it's there next time...

Love the diminishing dollar tip 😂
-
Thank you so much for the stunning ad for The Exiled Queen! Going to create the ad now and try it out :)
-
Welcome back, David! Overjoyed that you've returned with your excellent, clear & immediately useful info. You're the best!
-
Thanks so much for making an ad for My Book Boyfriend! I love it!
-
in addition to everything being amazing, this was really valuable for me to see what the book pages look like when someone logs in from Europe. I sometimes forget to make my prices "pretty" in other currencies on Amazon and I need to really do that!
-
Love the Norse Queen looking at the book!
-
Loved this - picked up some great tips and love your dry humour 😊
-
I do like your making the dollar sign smaller! It feels less "grabby," less "give me your money now!" and more like an offer I'd want to click on. I was also thrilled to see my novel (Necessary Sins) in your Canva dashboard. I'm waiting on tenterhooks, hoping you'll create an ad with it in a future workshop! 🤞

Thanks, David… as always, informative and fun!
-
Love the way you centered the dog. Not sure about the dollar sign being smaller, but it looks good to me. I agree about the quotes.
-
Thanks so much for this - I'm going to try it right now!
-
Thanks, David - very helpful!
-
Why not use the eyedropper function in canva to match the pink?
-
Yeah, one of my covers is a Jeff Brown 😆
-
