Synopsis[]
Seventeen sings a song about what some painters paint and makes some art, with the catch that he always paints 17 of everything.
Plot[]
The Numberblocks are seen to be going to the grand opening of Numberland's first art gallery, then we see Rocket Ten with Seven heading to the grand opening, but Three suddenly snatches Ten and Seven inside. She explains to them that because she has gotten distracted by her sparkly invitations, she forgot to add artwork in the gallery, so Ten and Seven offer to help. Three decides they can help by having Ten rocket Seven through the gallery to make art. They launch, but stumble and eventually land.
Seventeen was created, and Three tells Seventeen to make art quickly because the Numberblocks are entering the gallery. Seventeen begins to sing a song about what some painters paint and makes some art, with the catch that he always paints 17 of everything. Three gets thrown around in the process.
