Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Mouse Fur Texture** - Use short, delicate strokes with shades of brown, gray, and cream to give your mouse realistic, soft-looking fur.
2. 2🖍️ **Chive Plant Depth** - Layer different shades of green, from light lime to deep forest green, to create a lush, dense look for the chive stalks and leaves.
3. 3✨ **Flower Details** - Use various purples, from lavender to deep violet, to give the chive flowers dimension. Add tiny dots of white or yellow for pollen.
4. 4🌈 **Tiny Beetle Shine** - For the intricate beetle, use a fine-tipped colored pencil or marker. Consider a touch of metallic green or blue for a subtle, iridescent shimmer on its shell.
