This week, fabulously talented, incredibly creative professionals gathered to create new works using polka dots. The result are works of art that make you want to dance, sing, and celebrate color, style and the power of the imagination.

Maureen, a talented artist, created this gorgeous piece.

"When I sat down to paint, I thought I was gonna do a page of overlapping circles . . . but not surprisingly, the painting turned itself into underwater bubbles . . . that's from me breathing underwater!!!" said Maureen. "I guess AquaMaureen just had to get back into the ocean, any way she could!!"

Althea, creator of Salvaged Expression, created these stellar pieces.

"I call these the Dancing Dots and frankly they're just fun, simple and silly!" said Althea. "I used to do stick figure flip books in the corners of all my notebooks so it was fun to dip back into that stick world I had so much fun coming up with. Also, yes that is a stick John Travolta."

"I created a single pattern in photoshop and then played with the placement to create different product designs," said Sema.
