(Completed!)
With July's 'Follow the Path' theme done, I crowdsourced the theme for August. Overall, most responses were in the vein of "color!, give us some color!" So I am obliging. The theme this month is 'Vector the Rainbow' and while that seems like a simple change from my (mostly) black and white designs, it adds a whole new layer to consider while designing.
I hope you enjoy!
