When that's happened to me I eventually realized that the design is 
too complex, but I'm attached to the work I put into coming up with 
it ... it's like a snowball effect ... I don't like it, maybe if I 
did THIS too, oh now it needs THIS, and wouldn't THIS be cool ... 
maybe start over with a single block of color in your 
drawing/painting app and add just a few of your favorite elements 
from all the work you've done already.

Favorite design tenet: Simplicity is sophistication.
Second best: 3's and thirds.
