Fair enough, mathing is hard.

When you say one color…  
Does it have to be only one colour swatch? Or could someone use a bunch of different blues to make a masterpiece that is still monochromatic.

(sorry to complicate things. I like rules)

Hey, @Lady5tark, were we supposed to be surprised on the Day Of with the decision? Or have the votes not been counted? Sorry, I wasn’t sure and thought I’d ask. (I have final polishing to do and want to prioritize accordingly. If it’s a surprise, that’s okay, just needed to know what the info was. If it’s gonna be a long work session, better stock up on the snacks…)🍰 🥨 🍟 :w_tongue:

☹ guess I will give up on my single color design and throw something together. That is what I get for looking at twitter where one color won.
