Pay No Attention to the Lady Behind the Curtain
I’ve had this idea for quite a while, since launching the site, actually—wanting to share a little “behind the scenes” of what goes on here at reneepearson.com. To be honest, I feel a bit like the real Wizard of Oz, hiding behind a curtain and madly pushing buttons, spinning wheels and pulling levers to make all this happen.

Win a Free Copy of the Repper Pattern Tool
It’s the final week of Christmas in July and we’re celebrating with giveaways from some of our partners and friends. Today we’re excited about…
Repper
“Everybody loves patterns.” That’s the tagline at the Repper site. And everybody loves a pattern giveaway! Today, three lucky readers will win a copy of Repper, courtesy of our Dutch friends at Studio Ludens.
Repper is the fun pattern-making tool we wrote about a couple of weeks ago. With Repper, you start with an image and end having created dozens (or more) repeating patterns.
How to Enter
How would you incorporate a Repper pattern into a creative project?
That’s the question to answer in your comment below. Your idea can be crafting related, but it doesn’t have to be. You can describe a scrapbooking, card making, home decorating, fabric related or some other creative project. Have fun imagining and be specific!
The top 3 answers will win a free Repper license courtesy of Dutch developers Studio:Ludens. Only comments describing projects will qualify to win.
Deadline
Giveaway entries will close Friday, July 29th, at midnight ET US.
Members of the Studio:Ludens team will choose the 3 winners.
Winners will be announced in an update to this contest announcement.
