Incomplete dominance is where 2 dominant traits are combined, but neither show up in the offspring. This term is easily confused with co-dominance, but there is a difference.

An example of incomplete dominance would be where a white flowering plant pollinates a red flowering plant, but their offspring are all pink flowering plants. Since both white and red were dominant, they canceled each other out, and the median color pink shows up in the next generation.

Co-dominance is where 2 dominant traits are BOTH expressed. This would be the case if a white flowering plant pollinates a red flowering plant, and their offspring have flowers that are speckled with red and white dots. Both colors still show up, but neither one completely dominates the other.
