It would be nice to be able to add comments about the ones we choose. I look at the design and try to imagine it in a scarf or a skirt or as upholstery fabric; I look for something that will be pleasing to look at for awhile and timeless.
I really wish there were more non-holiday images in this contest. There are so many it looks like a Christmas tree theme instead of a non-holiday theme. That said, there are some gorgeous designs here.
Bonnie, click on the link above the image you voted for. It will take you to the design and you can make comments there. 🙂 Or if you’ve already cast your vote, click on the image of the design and you’ll go to that design page.
