Thanks, Faiona, for letting us do this again. I realize that you have stated in the past that it's kind of a pain to sort through the entries, but we, as a site, love doing this so much. Thank you for taking the time to judge our entries, and I hope you find some really stunning ones that stick out (and make this easy on you :P ). Without further ado, here are my entries.

Okay now we need a Peacock butterfly design for the wings and body.

Thanks for doing this again Faiona~ Time for some Easter Designing fun! :D

Ryori:

Prism Ryori- Based off of the multiple colours white light produces when refracted. You will see this many times in April, as this is how rainbows are made~



Sunset Ryori- these beautiful colours are often seen during sunsets when a storm is approaching for that night. As April is known for it's showers, you may see many of these beautiful sunsets.



Indigo Ryori- Based loosely off of the Indigo Bunting, a bird that migrates through my area every April/May.




Luffox:

Morning Glory Luffox - this design is inspired by this little girl that I found :

Who's colour scheme reminds me very much of a Morning Glory flower.

I'm fairly new at contests, but I'll give it a try. I have several ideas. XD

This first one is the first thing I think of when I hear 'spring'. White, light baby-blue, and light pink, 'spring' green. All very gentle colors. Because Spring, as a season - to me - is a gentle time of year as well as a turbulent one.

When Spring comes around, at least in Georgia, one of the best things to do [if it's not too hot outside] is to sit on a porch, or at a screen door, and watch fireflies. There aren't a LOT of them, but when they congregate for the first time, it's a magical experience.

Another thing you think of when you think 'spring' is the flowers that pop up all over. Usually, in grassy green meadows, there are oodles and oodles of brightly colored flowers coming up to say hello to the sun. I like to draw fields and the like with lots of flowers, especially during the springtime.
