Ok Guys, I'm going to have to call out here, BLACK doesn't count as a "colorful" color. Interpreted the task to be EASTER colors, I think at minimum it should be colors you could possible see associated with an easter basket and black doesn't count with that.

Miss Kenjii, could you please make that clearer on the first challenge thread?


message 16: by Bridget (new)

Bridget (bekeown) | 126 comments Hmm...I just realized that the last one on my update does look really dark...it was bluer in person. Ah well. Good point, Sassy :) I edited it above.

Bridget, if it's blue, then that's fine. just make sure you put that there. It looks black from here, but I know how different things can look on the computer.

After gr's last update I stopped getting all my alerts so I'm just seeing this...and I WILL clarify that 'coloful' is like Easter egg colors I.e blue, yellow, green, purple. Pink to name a few /:)
