Keefer finally decided on what to do. A Huffie crest on the left, text on the right, and some assorted Quidditch gear sprinkled throughout. He first painted the field a bright Hufflepuff yellow. Then came the words: Huffies for the Cup! He would've used the full name of his House, but he would've run out of room. After adding some decorative shadows underneath the words, he set to work on the House crest. Fortunately, Keefer had quite the artistic flair when he wanted to use it. With meticulous care, he outlined the badger and his banner. Then he worked on the actual crest and its field. After what seemed like five hours but was actually much less, he finished and moved on to the Quidditch equipment. I think a Golden Snitch definitely. Maybe a Quaffle, that should be easy. Aaaand... the Quidditch Cup! Then all I have to do is perform the charm!
Tapping the yellow field, he said "Colorus fulgeo yellow to lime green!" and made circles with his wand, first to the right and then to the left. And suddenly the background began to flash between lime green and yelow. "Cooleo!" He admired his handiwork, certain that it would help Hufflepuff on to victory.

OOC description of my banner:
I made a Hufflepuff Quidditch banner that I might use as a siggie someday. It's yellow, with the House crest on the left half, and "Huffies for the Cup!" on the right half. I also put in a few Quidditch items like a Quaffle, a Snitch, and the Quidditch Cup, which are among the words. The background flashes between lime green and yellow. The yellow is for Hufflepuff, but the lime green is just because Keefer likes to be random sometimes!

I decided to put in the Quidditch pictures because otherwise it looked like the banner was about the House Cup. I really wanted the crest to be the main eye-catcher, which is why it's so big. I know Keefer probably couldn't paint that well, but that's okay. Keefer would probably glue streamers around the edges before the big match, but those aren't available in the classroom. Overall, I think it's pretty good for my first graphic and not really knowing how to use Paint!
