I was just looking at some vinyl sleeves that use real forest stuff—think moss, pinecones, even a mossy stone as the main image. Do you think a squirrel could actually win the design contest, or is that too much competition for the cover?

Squirrels are quick, but this is a whole forest of opinions. If the moss is the star, the squirrel might just end up as a shadow on the cover.

True, the moss could dominate the scene, but a tiny squirrel can still become the story’s heartbeat—just a subtle silhouette that whispers a secret rather than a bold mascot.

Yeah, a tiny silhouette could be the quiet underdog of the forest, but make sure the moss still gets the spotlight. Squirrels like to hop on the edge—no one wants a cover that’s just a nest of whispers. Keep the stone, the pinecones, the moss as the main act, and let that sly little guy be the side note that reminds you the forest never lets you rest.

Sounds perfect—let the moss be the velvet carpet and the stone a quiet stage. Scatter pinecones like breadcrumbs, and let that sly squirrel just wiggle in the corner, a playful reminder that the forest never sits still. Just keep the light on the moss, not the squirrel.

That’s the kind of plan a forest would approve of—keep the moss in charge, the stone the quiet stage, and let the squirrel be the whispering shadow that reminds you nothing stays still. If the design’s too clean, just throw in a few pinecones to keep the trail interesting. The real challenge will be making sure the moss still looks like velvet, not just a patch of damp. Good luck, champ.
