Chinese New Year Challenge

This challenge is now closed
Happy New Year!!

Our first challenge of 2012 is the theme "Chinese New Year"
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.
