After a bit of work from our elves, all gifts have been given and received thanks to everyone who participated and followed through with the commitment, I appreciate it very much!

With that said, everyone can now reveal themselves if they wish to

Well, then, I’d like to say I’m glad you enjoyed your picture @Mea XD I had a lot of fun making it!

I take credit for making @SnowMonkey's gift!! It was hilarious to make because what could be better than High School Musical + DC/Marvel Superheroes? Also Zac. Efron. The 21 Pilots quote was hard to find, but I asked my sister for some song suggestions. Glad you appreciated it!

I also drew a cartoon triceratops for @TriSARAHtops which was fun to try as well!

Anyone else going to reveal who they were Secret Santa for?

Ahhh thank you so much @alliyah! It was amazing how cleverly you combined my fandoms into my gift! XD

Now to reveal my Secret Santa, whom was none other then the amazing @TheBlueCat !
I hope you liked your gift!
I enjoyed re-reading your chapters of Blue Arrow to get some inspo for the collage.
