Brings back memories eh? I like this image, its simple and nice but it does feel a bit dry. There is some spark with the purple coloring and gold highlights but it still seems like something is missing. Perhaps if it was lying across a graduation invitation/announcement or something? Just a bit of something to add a little more dimension instead of the flat, boring white surface. The focus is good as well but I do wish the DOF was just a smidge greater so that section in the bottom left wasn't blurry - its drawing my eye and is a bit distracting. Nice take on the challenge though! I gave a 5
