Introduction / colour schemes

This square can make a sunshine, spiralling on top of a circular rainbow. It is named after my sister Eleanor, who loves all things bright.

If you wish to make a rainbow, there are 6 rainbow rounds (not 7) and you’ll work from the base colour of the rainbow in order e.g. purple - blue - green - yellow - orange - red. Your ‘sunshine’ needs to be a contrasting colour to any yellow or orange chosen for the rainbow e.g. lemon/white/gold. In my example, I used sky blue for the background in the example photos.
