The image theme is anything goes but you must incorporate an altered domino or similar game piece into your projects!  You can make anything from jewelry to cards to ATCs as long as there's an altered domino involved!

What game pieces qualify you ask?
All kinds of dominoes from the ones made of marble-like resin to wooden dominoes are fair game..get it..hahahaha ;0)

You can also use any game piece that is similar to a domino!  For example:  Mah Jong, Chekits, Triominoes, Bendominoes, Lexigoes, Rummy, Bananagrams and Pairs n Pears to name a few!
