Color choices
Thumbelina can begin with a soft shade for the dress, then use a contrasting hue on the hair bow and ribboned stem. Color the lily pad in layered greens, adding a darker edge along its outline. Give the butterfly patterned wings with light and dark sections, and use green cattails, blue water, and warm accents for the frog.
Butterfly Wing Pattern
Choose repeating shades for the circles and curved sections on the butterfly’s wings. Echo a selected accent shade on the bows and nearby water lily petals.
