SWIRLYHUES DEBUT CHALLENGE IS HERE!!

Swirlydoos has done it again...Robin had a vision and an idea, the DT started working on this vision fast and furiously. We sketched, we put our heads together, we went back to the drawing board again and again, then Lisa Valentine put it all together beautifully. So We present to you...

SWIRLYHUES

We love all of the color challenges out there and wanted to create one of our own with a Swirlydoos twist! We are going to mix it up a bit so fasten your seatbelts! Each month the hosting Swirlydoos Designer will decide if you get to work with 3 colors or, shades of one and we go monochromatic! We have some of the best tutorials on the planet and decided that to truly make this a Swirlydoos event you will need to choose one of our tutorials and use that on your page.

For our inaugural challenge we have an awesome one of a kind prize for you!!!!!! Prize info is at the bottom of the post.
