I think there are 2 ways of doing this:

1) Find an image with proper colours like "pink flower with a green stem"

2) Use image with any colours then export your cloud in EPS format and change colours manually in Adobe Illustrator

Just import the latter text into your words section and visualize your cloud.

The difference is that for all words that have a font specified "repeat checkbox" is unchecked and those words were duplicated with random parameters.

I've checked your cloud and it is affected by the changes to words repetition mechanism made today.

You've specified various light fonts (like Alex Brush, Briep, etc.) in Words section and selected "Headline One" in Fonts section.

Before only few words (specified in Words section) were written in light fonts and the others were written in "Headline One" which is heavy.

Now (with new words repetition mechanism) the majority of words are in light fonts (as it is specified in Words section) as repeated words also have a light font instead of "Headline One" before.

That's why your cloud looks different now.

Here are some suggestions for you:
1) For every word with specified font in Words section do the changes descirbed in the second part of this blog post. This will allow you to completely mimic the old behaviour.

2) Assign heavy fonts for more words in Words section or untick "Repeate?" for some words with light fonts.

I've just realized that there was a defect related to cloud shapes deployed with words repetition changes.

It just has been fixed.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused!

There were some changes to words repetition mechanism. Please read this blog post for more details.

Kelly, you need to specify angle in degrees. For horizontal it would be 0 and 90 for vertical.

The problem is with the image you used as your cloud shape. It has "Laura" word and a lot of white space around. You need to reduce white space (the less the better) and import the image again.

Did you manage to import the shape image?
If yes and still no shape "at all" then please save your cloud at that state and advise its name so I could see what is wrong.
