Time for round 2!!

Maybe I'm just always trying to break or bend the rules, but this idea popped in my head, initially as an "is this okay? can i DO this?" question...

Of COURSE all ATCs must meet the sizing requirements...right? What if one were to clip a corner? Is it no longer an ATC? What if an edge were jagged (intentionally!)...or one attached a chimney to a roof-shaped cut? Catch my drift?

For this swap you will create 1 irregular ATC for 2 partners...creating 2 total. The ATC must still fit in a sleeve or those nifty baseball card pages. VERY simple on the guidelines, but please PM me if you have any questions at all. This can be our chance to break the rules!

ANY 1s or 3s please PM me. If you chose not to PM me, then I chose to drop you...This is senders choice.

So, do I understand correctly that the atc must be 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 somewhere on the card. .. it just doesn't have to be straight line & rectangular?

I did this in round one and made my cards using the letters ATC joined in a block and cut around the outside.

I think it looked quite good.

I'll have to think of something else for this one !!

@mamajoy - you're on the right track. The width needs to measure 2.5" at SOME point, and the height needs to measure 3.5" at SOME point (or switch those for "landscape" atcs). So a well-cut oval would work, or a snowflake, or letters like @boatingbelle did. Hope this helps!

ty @user2637 Just wanted to make sure the atc requirement was specific. The swap rules seemed a little vague to me. One of my brain cramp moments while reading it. btw: mine are done and waiting.

thanks, @user2637 - crappy winter weather has left me with a crappy, unreliable connection so thank you so much for getting to that FOR me!
