Rainbow Love

 Fabric design shown above is Rainbow Stars by Animotaxis

I've had color on the brain lately, in part because our neighborhood, the parks, the roadsides, and just everywhere you look around here in NC is blooming up big drifts of color.  No doubt my middle daughter's request for a rainbow-themed birthday party later this week has something to do with it, too.  We'll be making rainbow pom-pom decorations, whipping up a rainbow layer birthday cake, sipping out of a rainbow of paper straws, and playing rainbow and pot o' gold themed party games.  Stephen suggested that we print some rainbow themed fabric for the tablecloth to go under our rainbow layer cake.  Of course we should. 

Like maybe these by Wiccked, Jadegordon & Kaddy W. 

Better decide soon--there's a whole lot of party crafting that needs to get done to execute an almost-7-year old's party vision!

Turn about is fair play: Vote for fabrics created by Spoonflower staff for a change!

After putting our designers through the ringer over and over and over again by asking them to create fabrics for contests, now it's time to take our own medicine and let you rank us. We asked all the folks who work here at Spoonflower to submit designs for this contest, and now you get to vote for the winner (and/or mock us mercilessly). The winning fabric will be used to reupholster an old sofa that resides here at Spoonflower HQ.
