It's marginal, but I'll take it. Be sure to point this out in your post so Dlmrose..."


Thanks, Sandy....I thought I was going to have my first book ever that didn't fit anywhere!

yes, the handles of the bag work for the object. Please be sure to point that out if you use this book for the task. It appears to be an ebook only, so you'll need to get it approved for length.

As many circles as you like, as long as there's at least one.

The doughnut is fine. The other works as long as that isn't the name of the souvenir shop, since then it would be a sign, rather than a ring around the title of the book........... and, wouldn't that be an interesting name for a souvenir shop!

Wanda (wanda71) | 1770 comments His Majesty, Queen Hatshepsut by Dorothy Sharp Carter

Would any of the rings on this cover be acceptable. One of the handmaidens is wearing a hoop earring and there are bracelets on the arms of the pharaoh.

Thanks

Elizabeth wrote: "Would this Heaven Can't Wait (I-Team, #1.5) by Pamela Clare work?"

It works in terms of the circle. It appears to only exist in ebook form, and to be less than 100 pages - so you'll need to make sure it's approved in the ebook approval thread. You can use 1 book for a 5 point task that is 80-100 pages, so you could use it there if you haven't already used a book with <100 pages.

Thanks, I'll have it verified!

Sorry, no - looking for closed circles/ovals, not swirls. This is similar to post 128.

That will work. Be sure and say in the post that it was approved - I had to work at seeing this one, and no need for Dlmrose to have to duplicate efforts!

Agreed! I wasn't quite sure myself until I saw the cover in person! And I definitely didn't want to post it without approval. Need to stay off that wall of shame!

Thanks!

Sure would - it's a lot like a bicycle wheel, with spokes - you can see through it.
