September News Article:
[link]Please fave it!And now for something new, you may have noticed an extra Gallery folder appeared this month. Every year I

hold a Halloween contest, normally I collect the entries for it by note but I decided they will get more views and be easier to see if I store them in a folder in the group, specially as I'm sure most of you will want to enter.
Contest news article: [link]
Features last year's entries to help get you in the mood/inspire you.Please fave it

Contest details and rules are here:
[link]Deadline October 25th
The judging for this will be done by panel of volunteers, if you volunteer you cant enter (but our October challenge will be Halloween theme anyway so you can still draw Halloween dragons).
The Gallery folder is open for everyone to submit, do not need to be a group member but as with challenges submissions must be approved by group admin before they show up.
My current balance is: 1464 points, this will be used to buy next year's subscription which is about 9700 points.
Note: points must be sent to

as group points not enabled yet.
Thanks to everyone who donated!!
If you want to help raise points you can try the Llama trading game.
[link]Llama badges are free to give so you can earn a free points without having to pay any money.
