You have to use the HILDA32 palette by skeddles

Canvas Size – Open (but it has to be a long, vertical canvas).

Colours – Max 32 (33 if you use transparency).

Transparency - Optional (but remember, this is not a sprite challenge, you need to have a background with a decorative frame, you can use the transparency if you want to have an arched background or other weird shapes).

Animation - Forbidden.
