Okay, so I got two things for y'all. A layered file that you can download (you have to be a member) and a "He Said/She Said" between Colleen and I that I'd like you to weigh in on.

First, as some of you may recall from the most recent dekePod, I promised to include a layered version of the Madeover Airplane Bathroom Sign. You may recall this masterwork of modern art:
