Seeing Technicolor Dots

 Welcome!

Zazzle, Pinterest

I’m seeing dots…

Technicolor dots…

Polka dots!

Shinoda Design Center

It all started out with an innocent question -

‘I wonder why polka dots are called 

polka dots?’

Then things started to snowball…

More questions -

‘I wonder if polka dots were around before the polka dance?’

‘What is a polka dot, anyway?’

‘Do you think there are polka dot quotes?’

Instagram

…and more questions -

‘Is it a polka dot if it’s in color?’

‘Are polka dots just for fashion fabrics?’

So, I wrote a blog on the history of polka dots - and had so much fun!

But,

Now I see dots…everywhere!

They cover couches, bounce on bedding, shuffle over shoes, fondle fingernails and glam up gloves!

Yes, it’s time to stop all this dotty distraction -

but then I see -

More!

And more!

I think I’ll relax, and just go read a magazine.
