So far the people who have looked at the covers are divided as to whether the blurring of some backgrounds works or not. Some love it, others not so much. Also please tell me what you think of it?
Acknowledgements
A big thank you to all the people who helped me to create the cover:

Yes, it was a family affair. It was also fun to work together and I hope we will have other opportunities to do it again.

I like the first cover as its easiest on the eyes. I do not like the blurring.
Nr one all the way! :-)
@Yasmina - thank you for your vote.
@ Christelle - LOL! I can't claim not to know how you feel about no. 1!
I like number three best because of the font of the title and the muted colour of the dress. I like the blurring because it looks just like she is dreaming!
I think perhaps the brighter colours on Option 2 might appeal to children. But I prefer the fonts on Option 1. The blurring looks like someone's finger got in the way of the picture.
Ok, so my vote would go for Option 1.
Option 1 is the best: calm, serene. Maybe it is old fashioned but who said old fashioned is not good? The blurred background doesn't bother me. All the best with your book! petronosizwe@gmail.com
I like the font style and colours of the first option better than the green and blue font colours in options 2 and 3. The duller red of option 1 is easier on the eye.
So, option 1. :)
