Her wardrobe is a fresh, vibrant celebration of a meadow in full bloom. The palette features Grass Green, Sunny Yellow, and Crisp White. She wears a charming White Garden Dress, the hem of which is detailed with a playful Green Zigzag pattern, reminiscent of grass blades or garden fences. To stay warm while she forages, she layers a cozy Grass Green Gilet (Vest) over her dress. Her head is protected from the bright sun by a cheerful Sunny Yellow Bucket Hat with a textured brim. On her feet, she wears practical Green Lace-Up Boots, ready for an adventure.

In her paws, she proudly holds her prize: a magnificent, oversized Four-Leaf Clover. This lucky charm is constructed from four heart-shaped leaves joined together. Resting comfortably on one of the leaves is a tiny, spotted Ladybug, a traditional sign that good luck is on its way.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
