This winter has been a bit harder than we all expected with several storms hitting the country and tons of snow in the different states. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for Spring. That's why I thought why don't we start a new contest! And it's gonna be different from anything we've had before so it might be fun! Here's the plan. I'll give you a few shapes of different sizes and colors and you are to use them to make a scene or an item that represents something Spring related.
Shapes
I might add more colors or sizes according to demand.
Rules
- You can use as many of each shape as you want
- You may choose not to use one or more of the shapes if you don't need them
- You may NOT resize the shapes
- You may NOT change the colors of the shapes
- You may rotate the shapes as much as you want
- You may reflect the shapes horizontally or vertically if you need to
- You may NOT use any other images or shapes other than the ones posted above
- You can choose to either make a shape, draw something or someone or build a whole scene if you want to. As long as it's related to Spring. If you're not sure if your idea fits the theme or not, feel free to ask here or PM me!
- Do not copy other people's work
- Do not post anything that won't fit with the board rules
- There's no size constraint on the picture as long as I can see it :D
Deadline: 10th March 2014
Rewards
There will be TWO winners
Each winner will get:
- 2 Gifts of their choice
- Their choice of a sig/av or a layout
- 30 doll votes and 20 loft votes
Just to let you know. There might be two more surprise gifts, but I won't be able to confirm them right now since I have to wait for a few things to be ready if I were to offer those rewards. Will update as soon as I can confirm I can offer them
All participants will get participation certificates!!!
If you have any questions, feel free to post here or PM me! :D
Participants:

I would like to join! I will post the final product later on. Also, I think there is a problem with one of the shapes. When I copy and paste the little pink triangle onto a page, the background of the triangle becomes black. When I put the background back to white, there is still a faint outline of black around the triangle. Is that still acceptable ?
And just one question. Are we allowed to change the shade of the shapes ? It's technically the same color, right ? Let's take the red circle as an example. It is currently a vibrant red color. Is it okay if we change it to a darker red color ?
Thanks!

Where are you pasting them, sub? It's working for me. If you let me know what software you're using, I can tell you how to get them as clean as possible. But in general copying and pasting won't always be clean, so I suggets saving them somewhere on your computer then importing them into your page.
Nope. You can't change the shade, but if we get enough demand for a different shade, I can add shapes for that. :D
I'm actually pasting them on paint, even though I usually use Photoshop. Also, I have an idea for a scenery, but I'm not sure if it would count as "Spring themed." Is a fruit and vegetable garden appropriate for Spring scenery ?
Yeah Gimp or Photoshop are better in handling transparency. For Paint, here's a little trick:
- Open Microsoft Word
- Insert the picture on the page
- Select the picture and copy it
- Paste it in paint. That usually makes it MUCH cleaner.
It sounds a bit more summery to me now that I think about it. I'd say a flower garden is better!

Do the shapes have to show their shape?
For example, can I overlay the circles so that it looks like a cloud.
Actually subway, I updated my post up there. I think that's more summery that springy. I was going to say yes (actually i did post a yes) but now that I think about it...That's summery!
Angel, yup. You can overlay them as much as you want!
Sigh. I was going to try, but I can't make the shapes do what I need them to do. When I try to copy a triangle, for example, I get not just the actual blue triangle, but also the triangle of white negative space coming along with it. I'm going to pass. Have fun with it, though!
Hmm. I will try that! And, yeah, I suddenly got some inspiration! Is a water lily considered Spring themed ? Sorry for asking so many questions! Thank you! :)

awwww snortmort! If you want, I can try to help you get over that!!
No prob, Subway. have fun.
DARKY!! I need a small brown circle!! Preferably the same or pseudo same as the gray circle.
Yeah, actually, I need one, too! If you can, of course! Thank you! :)
Adding a few new colors for the little circle. Tell me if I forgot something :)
6 more days. Anyone in?
So, I'm finally finished! Do we post our creations here ?
Technically, you're the winner. No one else posted anything. Could you post your entry?
O gosh! I'm so sorry darky >.< I completely forgot about this!
I'd need an extra day to finish what I have.
Omggggg! I am super happy right now! Thank you so much! :)
Here is my finished scenery! :)
