THEME: Purposely Whimsical Purple. We want to see in your work, purple as the predominate color. Purple is often thought of as a regal, royal color that, on its own, denotes pride. Like blue, purple is considered a calming color, but rather than being associated only with calm, the color purple connects us to the spiritual realm.
