We are sad to announce that our lovely team member Jan Clothier will be stepping down from Retro Rubber after this challenge.  It has been a pleasure and joy to have Jan on the team.  She has been a great contributor to the challenges with her stunning cards and fun tic tac toe challenges.  We wish Jan the best as she moves on to the next chapter in her creative career!

Enjoy the inspiration of the design team!
