Think I might skip this event.. so good luck to the one's that are participating

[TwixAndScones]

I don't like the colours to the Spider. I would've like it had it been a brown / black colour or something. I mean I do get the theme to this particular event is Valentines and that's why the colour is what it is. Though I think the Valentines aspect could've been conveyed without the purple/pink type of colour on the Spider. It doesn't contrast with the rest of the colours in a way that I would've personally liked - again personally speaking for myself and not for others.

I'm still slightly debating if I should participate or not currently.

Can someone please tell me what is the prize for this event? Look like another crazy making/crafting items again and I?m not sure about final reward?

I think someone's been watching Netflix's Back to the Outback. I think the purple spider in that movie is supposed to map (very loosely) to the tiny real life dancing Australian spiders, however they are actually more peacock colours. I do wish they had made them more like the real life spiders (in both the movie and game) as they are a lot prettier not purple. There's some funny youtube videos out there of these peacock spiders if anyone else is curious.
