RIP Microsoft Paint 1985 - 2017. The venerable graphics editing stalwart is set to disappear later this year as part of a Windows 10 update.

MS Paint has always been there for us. For many millions, it was the first introduction to drawing or painting with a mouse on a computer, as well as creating slightly ropey-looking copy and paste collages.

To celebrate its life, we would like to see your best - or worst - Paint creations, and hear your memories of using the thing.

You can share your stories and MS Paint masterpieces via the form below.
