Week 32 of #zencolouringcontest is finally here! Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place. To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like). ![ZCCfeaturedcolour.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPhFTMReqexVU8eAYoUjzdF7PqR9v9v6G6ULudpbJ9Gfs/ZCCfeaturedcolour.png) The featured colour this week is Yellow Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection: _{(with example shades of the colour)} ![W32 colour chosen.PNG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPpDRWehKAVAsrXhQoxDFp22KgaNm71euRVosDsaMM4tQ/W32%20colour%20chosen.PNG) ![ZCCschedule.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZmqUuko3rCBFES7xk7DzuQGjUp5HLJoqVga1CM7AFXTB/ZCCschedule.png) The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern.

The Bee is a hard working, fascinating creation much like the entries that you wonderful people create. The honeycombs they make are also a beautiful natural geometric pattern.
