Q&A Spot

I will add any questions in the thread that pertain to the challenge here, along with the answers, so everyone can find it easily.

1. Q- Must you do all of the Bonus section? Or can you do a few?
A- You need to complete the entire Bonus to 'officially' get credit for it, but you are welcome to complete as many as you want for the enjoyment of it.

2. Q- How much of the cover has to be the color for the bonus?
A- At least 1/3 of the cover should be the designated color for the bonus to count. But....I won't fault you if it's not exactly 1/3 or more and you aren't interested in anything else with that color cover. Just try to find something that is close!
