Two words people mix up
"Template" is the flat layout you paint on; "wrap" is the finished image. Sending someone your template gives them a blank canvas, not your design.
Where to go next
If you are new: read the file rules, then design on the correct template. If a wrap already failed, the checker will tell you which rule it broke.
