May 2026

This month we’re celebrating Black & White — classic, striking, timeless, elegant.


But this is Colorful Options.

You always have a choice.

🎨 Your Options

Option 1 — Black & White

Create a project featuring black and/or white as the primary colors.
Crisp contrast, soft neutrals, dramatic shadows, vintage tones — clean, classic, or bold. Black and white can stand alone or lead the design. Your interpretation.

Option 2 — Black & White with a Pop of Color


Want to add a little extra fun? Use black and/or white as your main colors and add a pop of color. A bright collar, rosy nose, single accent shade, or even a playful splash of rainbow — all welcome. The color pop can be subtle or eye-catching.

Option 3 — Rainbow

Prefer to go full color? Join us with a rainbow-inspired project instead.
Bright blends, bold bands, soft transitions, or colorful details — all are welcome.

Option 4 — Cards

Prefer to keep it classic? Enter with a card project using either Black and/or White, Black & White with a Pop of Color, or Rainbow. Clean and simple, layered, elegant, graphic, or 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 Black and/or White, Black & White with a Pop of Color or Rainbow, it belongs here.

There are lots of ways to play along in May — whether you keep it purely black and white, add a pop of color, or go full rainbow, the choice is yours.
