Clay poker chips from rounders

I Ihave my doubts that this will be good to see. My first attempt, I made the cathedral with a 2 dot outline, but after all, I ain't sure, if this will come out great. To get a more 'elegant' feeling, I made it black with colors that matches the chip/edgespot colors.

My first custom clay set had rather lighter colors and so I wanted to make it different this time. Let's say it's some sort of evolving process and I included new ideas and get rid of some issues. And after two days I have four differen versions of the inlay. So, as a first time user, I made my first steps with Adobe Illustrator, loaded the CPC templates, and started the project. not to forget: my wife is quiet happy about it as well. And, well, because it also should have something in common with poker, I thought it would be a nice idea, to call this inlay 'Rounders Cologne' And I have to say, I am quiet happy with this theme.

and so my thoughts become clearer and I wanted to include 'the cathedral' (or 'Dom' as we say in germany). it's that city with the big gothic cathedral!!!'. It's funny, because everytime I spoke with americans or canadians, everyone seemed to know Cologne. So after playing around a bit, I thought I might be cool, to include something that reminds me of that beautiful city next to my hometown and the City where I work: Cologne/Germany.
