Turquoise water, apple-green banks, and raspberry lilies give this afternoon a bright, summery feel. Keep the otter caramel, repeat pink in the paw pads, and use just a few pale water reflections.

A golden sky and pine-green trees frame cinnamon fur and a blue door. Pink flowers punctuate the honey-colored balcony; keep most areas solid and save small highlights for the wood and lantern.

A caramel tabby curls up with a berry-and-honey plaid blanket. Teal cushions and rainy blue glass balance the warm oak room; pink ear interiors, cream paws, and varied leaf greens finish the small details.

Little Daydreams · 09
