Week 286: BUTTERFLY

The gallery is sure to be full of pretty, fluttering things, but with Valentine's Day a week away maybe you'll find your hearts a-flutter with something different than the literal meaning!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

1. One main image
2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
3. Limited layers & embellishments
4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)

Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!
