What if Circle Dance had been knit in all the possible dyed sets?

I got permission from Stephanie Alford at Space Cadet Yarns to play with the GIMP (open source photo editing software) to see what the Circle Dance Sweater might look like in some of their lovely colorways.

With 5 mini skeins and 3 rings of circles, there are 5 X 4 X 3 or 60 possible ways to arrange the yoke circles, without repeating a color in any rings! I obviously only picked one and illustrated it.  I could change the color and simulate some of the tonal yarns patterning with the colorize function, but many of the one of a kind mini-skeins are multicolored, and their look would depend on which size circle they were used in.  A narrow circle will look color blocked, a wider circle striped, a wider yet…some experimentation is a good thing!
