Another fun image to color with a sweet My Besties sitting on cup with a darling mouse!

For this image i got some advice from my 6 yr old granddaughter..she knew what colors i should color this image up, she told me blue and yellow..but when she said pink shoes..i thought, really..so i waited until i colored up the whole image and sure enough, pink worked!  Of course she wanted the cup purple..i didn't go that route.  :)

This image is Teacup 654 and is available here.
