April 2026

 This month we’re celebrating Yellow — bright, joyful, bold, glowing.

But this is Colorful Options.

You always have a choice.

---

🎨 Your Options

Option 1 — Yellow

Create a project featuring any shade of yellow as the primary color.

Butter, mustard, gold, lemon, sunflower — pale or vibrant. Monochrome or yellow-dominant. Your interpretation.

Option 2 — Rainbow

Not loving yellow? Join us with a rainbow-inspired project instead.

Full spectrum, subtle blends, graphic stripes — all welcome.

Option 3 — Cards

Prefer to keep it classic? Enter with a card project using either Yellow or Rainbow. Clean and simple, layered, mixed media — all styles welcome.

Option 4 — Other Creative Medium

We love variety. Enter with any creative format, including: painting, crochet or knitting, quilting or sewing, home decor, digital art, scrapbooking, mixed media, or something else creative.  If it features Yellow or Rainbow, it belongs here.
