This piece has a lot of meaning in it to me.. I had Thyroid Cancer.. (as did my grandmother, father, brother.. It's hereditary) I had mine removed when I was young and luckily haven't had any further complications from that. I also just lost a friend's mom, who I have known for about 15 years, to Leukemia.. And I have 2 friends currently battling Breast Cancer.. This piece is for them

♥ Supporting the Fighters ♥ Admiring the Survivors ♥ Honoring the Taken ♥

The words are called an Ambigram.. It can be read right side up or upside down.. They are pretty cool and you can even make them say 2 different things but with the same format.. I found one a while ago and have been playing with the designs since..

This piece took forever because I wanted it to be perfect.. I am pretty happy with how it turned out..


I'll list the colors they should be and what they stand for.
Starting from the left and going to the right across the top, then under:

Orchid - Testicular Cancer Awareness
Lime Green - Lymphoma Awareness
Grey - Brain Cancer Awareness
Pink - Breast Cancer Awareness
Purple/Marigold/Blue - Bladder Cancer Awareness
Yellow - Bone Cancer Awareness
Teal/Pink/Blue - Thyroid Cancer Awareness
Orange - Leukemia Awareness
Dark Green - Liver Cancer Awareness
Burgundy - Multiple Myeloma Awareness
Gold - Childhood Cancer Awareness
Teal/White - Cervical Cancer Awareness
Lavender - All Cancer Awareness
Black - Melanoma Awareness
Dark Blue - Colon Cancer Awareness
Teal - Ovarian Cancer Awareness
White - Lung Cancer Awareness
Light Blue- Prostate Cancer Awareness
Purple - Pancreatic Cancer Awareness
Periwinkle - Esophageal Cancer Awareness

Wow! Now that's one beautifully well made ambigram! What a great tribute to all those people out there battling against the disease and for all those who have lost loved ones to cancer.
I salute you!
