I realised I had confused you by showing two different containers in the pics while my words were in terms of one palette so you obviously thought they were connected in some way.

There are actually two palette containers showing in the pics...one is a clear, hard plastic square container that used to be a Ferrero Rocher Chocolate box (yum!) and the other is a cheap version of Tupperware with a green lid.
