my olympic idea
I chose this design because I like the torch so I put it on then I made a fading olympic symbol then i put the inukshuk in because I think it shows everyone being together and thanking mother nature for the wonderful land we own and the wonderful weather and I put the candels for the kids who used to hold the candels as if it was like a tortch to show some of the olympic spiret. I am sorry I am not the best drawer I will try harder to make a better pictsher.
