December 2025 Photoshop Challenge Results!

The theme for this challenge was: Dangerous Flowers!

This month’s theme was Dangerous Flowers! We challenged our members to imagine a world where the flowers are fierce, poisonous, lethal, or just plain unpredictable! Are they battling us, or each other? We love the imaginative results we received for this challenge!
