Do you need some inspiration to try something new or different? Well here's a challenge for all designers and wanna be designers. Let's see how many versions of "Year of the Dragon" we can get.

To get us started I found some fonts with dragons that I will use, but there are so many dragons on the net you might find some better ones.

http://www.fontspace.com/category/dragon
try coloring book pages too.

Google Year of the Dragon for inspiration for some beautiful designs.

Cmon, you can do it. I'm off to try one now.

Here is a dragon to get you started, it is from the font HFF chinese dragon from fontspace. I had to clean it up a bit.

Me too Sandy, you remember that Puff, is a magic dragon so it may encourage some to go find HIM and play. Still working on mine. Can't get the pieces to cut correctly but at least I have something creative to do. :lol:

Thank you, Susan. I saw the card you did and it's great.

Regarding Paulo, it seems that he is very busy at the hospital. He's a truly good person.
