Aw, but if someone did enter who didn’t enter before, they couldn’t advance, as in continue and win the contest? Sucks. D:

I have a stupid-ish question:Can I edit the image-other than the size (as in,can i erase stuff or is that considered resizing too?)

Shivani posted this October 19 // # Reply
You can edit the image however you want but the size must stay the same!

Jessica posted this October 19 // # Reply

Oh, and it won’t be decided on voting will it? Because usually the winners are decided by popularity when that happens. Just a question. :)

I didn’t do the last contest (I regret that now, but oh well), so I’m just doing this for fun. This is the first blend I’ve ever done, so it’s probably not very good.
