SOTW#78 - The first signs of Spring. Results are in.

[DrewDale]

 

This Weeks Theme is – The first signs of Spring
And was chosen by –  dug

For most of us spring is here, the climate is warmer and the flowers are starting to bloom. This week’s topic
invites you put your idea of the first signs of spring to the test and create some warmth here.

The deadline for entries is 9:00pm (UK Time) on Sunday 31 March.  To see how that equates to other countries, here is a link to the World Time

 

 

Please take a moment to read the rules below. (If your entry breaks any of them, it will be disqualified and not included in the poll)

The Rules:

1. Max sig dimensions 500x200. Please NOTE: The forum limits signatures to 500x150, if it is too large do not try to use it as your sig.
2. No crude or offensive language, pics, etcetera. This is a family friendly forum!
3. Your entry must follow the set theme.
4. Only one entry per person, modifications to your image is NOT permitted after submitting your entry!
5. Your post should include your sig and links to your source images. 
6. Use new, fresh sigs. The idea is to get you to create new things, and if you are just pulling out an old one, you are not doing that.
7. No uploading a place holding sig, and then adding a new one later in the week.
8. Very Important - Your creation must be made using paint.net, please don't use an outside image editor / renderer and try passing
it off as PDN work. Or it will be disqualified!  

The  winner of the current SOTW gets to choose the subject for the next competition.

Good luck to all and thanks in advance for entering.


Special thanks to: Sozo (since I’m using a remix of his template)   chrisco97, Sozo  TheHowler and Nitenurse79 for keeping this comp going in the past.



This thread is for posting your entries only.
