I'm ashamed to say that I only created 3 or 4 things with 'Colours! 3D' and then never used it again. 
 
I did, however, continue to check out everybody else's amazing work. Man! There are some seriously talented people out there. It makes me guilty for not continuing with what was a passion for me in my youth.
 
I'm really happy to see updates for this app though. As far as I'm concerned it's one of the best 3rd Party pieces of content on the system. Period.
