Description: A large butterfly has been placed in the center of the top half of the picture. Its pink abdomen has two sections. It has a round head, great blue eyes, two pink antennas looking like floppy ears, and gold wings, each with red horizontal stripes and red circles surrounded by yellow circles. On the right side of the picture, a bright green butterfly, one-fourth the size of the other, floats in the air. It has peach circles on each wing, a blue body, and bright pink antennas. The bottom half of the picture shows five yellow flowers that the butterflies are hovering over. These large blossoms have orange petals with red lining and yellow centers with gold spots. They have green stems with downward drooping leaves. The flowers are almost stacked like a pyramid in the bottom of the picture - three on the bottom, two on the top.
