Description: A young girl stands below the arch of a thick rainbow that stretches all the way to the ground on either side of her. The colors of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, mint green, blue, purple, bright pink, gray, brown, and navy. The little girl is a happy stick figure wearing a pink triangle-shaped dress and a big pink bow on the top of her head. She has a big smile and blonde hair that flips out at the bottom. Her arms are reaching up in joy, and a butterfly rests directly above her head. It has four orange and pink wings, a yellow body, and two black antennas. Blue sky surrounds the rainbow. On either side of the rainbow sprouts a flower with a pink smiley face, yellow petals, and green stems. The two flowers almost look like people; the leaves on the stems are angled somewhat like little arms. Fluffy white clouds outlined with black pencil and a yellow sun in the top left corner grace the sky. The sun also has a smiley face, and black lines stream out to represent rays. Black curly-cues also decorate the sky. A mint green section at the bottom represents the grass, and the artist has signed her name broadly across the bottom.
