Case File No. 218 - Deadline: November 30

Thank you for sticking with us as we've been transitioning over to Blogger! We've got a brand-new Case File for you featuring a palette that works with all seasons and topics. And don't forget that Major Case File No. 217 is open all month too.

So, are you ready for this week's challenge? Grab your forensics kits, CSI members, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open Major Case File No. 218.

CASE FILE:

The leaves have been falling all month, and the trees have those last few flaming bits dangling from the branches. We're celebrating autumn with our Case Files this month. Case File No. 218 celebrates the blowing leaves. Our whimsical Scene is by French illustrator Maite Franchi.

Remember to scroll all the way down to the bottom of this reveal post for RGB codes, color descriptions, and more detailed explanations of the Evidence and Testimony prompts.

Have you heard about the sketch challenge Tell Us a Story? CSI Detective Anastasia is on their design team. Go check it out!

Anastasia has translated the Case File into Russian for our Russian players:
