Alice is happily sitting on the ground with her legs crossed, wearing a lovely blue dress with a white pinafore. Her golden blonde hair is carefully tied back with a black ribbon, and she is happily playing with a black and white striped kitten which is resting in her lap. To bring the image to life, I would use a muted blue for the dress and pinafore, a muted yellow for Alice's hair and a solid black for the kitten and ribbon. The contrast between the muted colours and the solid black will bring the image to life and make it look vibrant. The background can be coloured with a light green to give the image a natural feeling and atmosphere.
