The concern is that this collab could be massive (which is good  ) and we don't want to bog anything down with lots of really big individual contributions.
As far as what you can do to limit size: First make sure the individual elements aren't too big (it's not necessary to have 6x6 inch flowers for example). Think about the size you would want them to be in one of your layouts. Second, when saving the files in your original program, look for a compression option. When I save a jpg in photoshop, right after hitting the OK button in the save menu, it asks me about the compression (on a scale of 1-10). Third, as Kayla said, zip the folder by right clicking on it and selecting the compress option.
If your folder is still huge, send me a pm with the link and I'll look at it. If I can't compress it any further without losing quality they we may have to make an exception or change the limit. I don't want to sacrifice quality just to stay within the 10MB limit.
