The criteria for this swap is:
It's Raining Men (hallelujah)
We're heading into the winter and we haven't had a male themed ATC for a while so let's combine these two themes into one ATC. OK, so now that you can't get the 'It's raining men, hallelujah' song out of your head, feel free to interpret this criteria anyway you like but your ATC must include:
- Male theme, and
- Include 'winter' colours such as black, grey or cool blues on your ATC (you don't have to use all these colours and you can use others, just keep to 'cool' colours).

What's an ATC?
An ATC is the acronym for Artist Trading Card.
For anyone new to ATCs, it's a small piece of original work that measures 2.5" x 3.5". There is no right or wrong way to create an ATC - you just need to stick to the measurements and the rest is up to your imagination.
