Thank you so much for reviewing my collection (the Halloween one).
Your review has helped me tremendously to think more about having a product before designing my collections.
And thank so much for your suggestions on reworking this collection for party and napkins and adjusting it to a certain industry.

@@Helenjojoful thank you so much Oleana for sharing your beautiful work!

For the first one I would’ve guessed party ware. I could see it on table cloths, and disposable party cups. But good points. I love your research tips

[@ElizabethSilver]

Thank you Sabrina!

Great video thanks Elizabeth. My mind was blown when you were changing the colours so quickly. I rewatched but can't work out how ps knows which element you were wanting changed - you used the marquee to select the pattern, but then it looked like just the eye dropper. Were you using the magic wand tool or something else before the eye dropper that I was missing? Great way to test quick colour changes before committing. Thanks again

[@ElizabethSilver]

@@cherylbrucecreativ I was using the eyedropper to select color, then marquee to select pattern then the paint bucket (fill) to paint everything of one color to a new color. You may have to adjust settings, you don't want 'contiguous' selected because that will only fill one color that is touching. Unchecking that means everything within the marquee of the color you fill will change.

[@sheverleyclacken3676]
