OPINION ON TWO CREATIONS

Mhm, well both look very nice when it comes to what you did to the backdrop, you definitely can do more reworks to the text, personally think the fonts look a bit inappropriate when it comes to the style you're applying, as for the outline/stroke around the whole thing, try making it white and then changing its blending option to "Overlay" then playing around with it's opacity, I think it'll help make it look slightly nicer.

Overall, good job.
