Google Docs recently posted a YouTube video in which four people created a collaborative spreadsheet and then worked together to create a beautiful image of snowflakes. In this time-lapse video,  the four collaborators create the image using a 100 row x 186 col spreadsheet and 18 different colors. Google Docs then invites viewers to create their own spreadsheet art and post a video response.

You can find all of the information about the original spreadsheet and create your own spreadsheet art at docs.google.com/holiday.
