## <mark style="color:blue;">03 | Use a Printed Fabric Swatch in a Digital Coloring Page</mark>

Once you've found and prepared your printed fabric swatch (Step 1 above), we can now use it in our digital coloring page.

For this example, I am going to use Suzy Quilts' Tiny Meadow in Nova fabric from her Evolve collection from AGF.

1. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Edit**</mark> button associated with the Fabric Link you'd like to change. In this example, I'll be changing C5.
