I'm not a big fan of VB because it is so THICK or Heavy looking to me. However, your skin is pretty and If you are happy with its look then fine.
I don't see anything particularly noisy about it.
Ps. That's the first time I've seen Santa in a loin cloth!
Love your choice of colors on the forum and from the looks of it; your forum is well underway..Already you have numerous posts. I love forums and so may stop by once in a while.
