Zecca's "Coloring Book" Canvases

Coloring Book #2 "Create" from Zecca

One of the most interesting new design trends from Destination Dallas is Zecca's series of black and white line drawing canvases called their "Coloring Book" series.  Each canvas comes with a paper version of the design so stitchers can figure out their preferred color scheme before they start to stitch the design.
