Since the last one was so hard, I've chosen a single-theme challenge for this round. In fact, I randomized it from the 150 challenges at iconsomething. :D I hope you enjoy this one!

This challenge was originally posted to iconsomething in March 2015 here . Thank you so much to applepips for allowing us to use it!

The challenge this week is that your icon must contain decorative accents in the form of stock textures.

ORIGINAL RULES - for reference only

You may enter up to 3 icons for a challenge.

NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory

Consider the original challenge rules and try to stick to them in spirit. Our new rules are less strict, but you may find it fun to try and meet the original requirements, e.g. regarding specific fandoms or other restrictions.

-> you may enter as many icons as you like. minimum 1 icon. (the maximum of three icons specified in the original rules does not apply!)
-> submit your icons as a new entry into the community. if there are more than five, put the rest under a cut or a link to your unlocked journal post. tag your post with round number and your username (or ask me to tag it for you).
-> submit the URLs along with your icons. I'll only put the first five per person into the roundup post. Either you only list five, or I'll take the first five.
-> make an effort to leave positive feedback on other participants' posts. <3
-> read the full rules here in our userinfo.

This comm generally runs from mid-month to mid-month every month, always ending on Fridays. There is no voting. I will make a roundup post containing up to 5 icons per person after every challenge.

Deadline for round #27: Friday, June 20th 2025 your end-of-day

I finally managed to send neonspider a message, and while they sadly didn't respond, now enough time has passed that we can use a challenge from somein30! Several people have suggested somein30 before, and I loved the comm as well, so it was only a matter of time. I picked my absolute favorite round from the comm - and the one that means the most work for me, meeep. Be patient with me! <3

This challenge was originally posted to somein30 in March 2021 here.

I had to change a few minor things related to the randomized sources, but wherever it said "my collection of" and that meant neonspider's collection, you'll now get something from my collections (of textures, songs, etc.). Wherever I used ~~strikethrough~~ or "ETA", those are the changes I made to the original post.
