Updated to here. Thanks all for checking in.
I just wanted to clarify something - for Group C & C1 - non-traditional colors (NO red, black, yellow). You can use one of those colors in your element, as long as it's not traditional-looking Disney. For example, if you wanted to do a paper piecing of Mickey, you can use Black for his ears and such, but you wouldn't put him in his red shorts - that's traditional Mickey. I thought that group would allow you to break away from the standard look of Disney and bring in more creativity.
A little bit of a spoiler for my group, I plan on making a character paper piecing that won't look anything like their traditional-self. I have it test it out first to see if it looks like the picture in my head. But it definitely won't look like the standard character.
