Chinese New Year Challenge
This challenge is now closed
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year!!
Our first challenge of 2012 is the theme "Chinese New Year"
And this year is the year of the Dragon.
And this year is the year of the Dragon.
What does ChineseNewYear2012.net have to say about the year of the Dragon?
In 2012, the Dragon is welcomed back after the 2011 year of the Rabbit. Each of these animals are thought to bestow their characteristics to the people born in their year.
While the Year of the Rabbit was characterized by calm and tranquility, the Year of the Dragon will be marked by excitement, unpredictability, exhilaration and intensity. The Rabbit imbues people with a sense of cautious optimism, but people respond to the spirit of the Dragon with energy, vitality and unbridled enthusiasm, often throwing all caution to the wind.
You don't have to be a member of Paper_Traders Yahoo Art group to participate but if you would like to join us and be privy to even more great paper crafting swaps and challenges plus better than ever artistic support, that would be super!
