Where's Dottie?
We know you love our hidden object contests, so we've brought a similar game to the Web.
Each month, our ladybug friend "Dottie" (left) will fly off and hide somewhere on the Backyard Living
Web site (not in the subscriber-only area though). Once you find her,
simply click on her picture to enter. All names will be entered into a
random drawing for a prize.
The contest starts on the 1st of each month and ends on the last
day. The winners' names will be posted on-line. Only one entry per
person, per month, please. No purchase is necessary to enter.
The prizes change monthly. Specifics on each month's contest and prizes will appear in this section of the Web site.
