I like the use of Alphabet Soup for the informal quality it gives your design. I like Brighton, too - what's not to like!?

Thanks Bob - your eyes aren't failing you. In haste I posted up the wrong file which looks like it breaks a design rule about contrast, ie if two elements are only slightly different you don't have contrast you have conflict. In this case the sparkles just look like faint smudges!

Here's a more contrasty version using the droplets overlay (we've had cold rain and sleet on and off all day here!)
