1. 1Color the cat's body, head and tail with warm orange, then add burnt orange to the darker stripes on the back, head and tail.
2. 2Fill the inside of both ears with soft pink, and paint the flower centers with golden yellow.
3. 3Color the round background behind the cat with sky blue near the cat and pale blue around the edges, leaving the paws and muzzle white.
4. 4Color the leaves and curly swirls of the wreath with grass green and sage green, and add the gray swirls with medium gray and light gray.
5. 5Leave all the flower petals white so they stand out against the colored leaves and background.
6. 6Optional: Add a little extra burnt orange along the shadowed side of the tail to give the cat more depth.
