new label critiques please

it's been dead in the label area for a few days, so i'll liven it up with asking for critiques on my newest first draft label! it is for my Holiday ale which will be a xmas spiced med-high gravity amber. i absolutely am new with photoshop and can't even figure out how to shadow the lettering or put a shadow border on this. but here goes anyway.

i have a book on Photochop, so with some suggestions, i'll get off my a.d.d. behind and look it up.

Do you have a bigger version? So far I like what I see!

fixed it. i put the thumbnail addy in the image tags.

Very cool. Did you draw the Santa yourself?

no, thieved from the good ol' net. it even had the fade gray in it already.

There are tutorials on youtube on how to add borders and stuff to the text. Maybe some white around the top words? I don't know, it looks pretty good as it is.
