Last week just burned through big story after big story, but here is your chance to catch up on all of the great photos, contests, and events that made it a memorable final week of October.
Right out of the gates, the biggest news of the week was not hard to spot, as we announced that PicsArt will be collaborating with the fabulous Hilary Duff (@hilaryduffofficial) to celebrate her new single “All About You”. From clipart to exclusive surprises from the artist herself, stay tuned for lots of excitement ahead.
Of course it was also Halloween, which we celebrated in all sorts of fun and creative ways, but the good stuff just kept piling up. We had great tutorials on editing tricks and custom lockscreens, invigorating art contests, top users, and great pieces that covered everything from spicing up your weekend romance to salmon-fishing in Alaska.
Don’t let any of last week’s best get away from you. It was an awesome week, and we’ve collected all the top stuff below. What better time than a Monday morning to click through a selection of inspiring articles and photos like?
