URGENT - problem with element contest submission

I spent all day making a page kit for the element design contest, and then I emailed it in. It took my slow computer more than an hour to send it, and then it went and bounced! Help! Did I waste my day? What do I do now?

Here's the message:

Are you trying to send the whole file at once? Are there different items? If there are zip them as individual items and send in different emails. Just label your emails 1 of 6, 2 of 6 for example. Hope this helps you out.

Vivian is correct (of course! ) Here's your exact error message:

<elementscontest@scrapbook-bytes.com>: message size 31659197 exceeds size limit
20971520 of server mx00.1and1.com[217.160.230.11]

You tried to send a 31 (31659197) MEG file, and the biggest file your server allows is 20 MEG (20971520). When you brek up the files, makes sure the biggest one is no bigger than this number 20971520.

HTH. Can't wait to see all of these great kits. Some of us who can read these geeky error messages need creative people badly!

Well, I had a look at my files and discovered that one of my vellum backgrounds had ended up over ten megabytes by itself, and you couldn't even see the effect I'd been aiming for! That's what happens when you play with noise and vellum. Talk about file bloat! I redid the page in plain white and it miraculously shrank to a more suitable size. I resubmitted the kit and it hasn't bounced back yet, so hopefully I got it small enough. It'd better be, because it's way past my bedtime and I can't do it again...
