Billy buttons

My mother agreed to buy me the hat.

It was neon pink and yellow and violet. The brand was Cheetah and I thought it would make me it and a bit. And it did. I loved myself sick in that thing.

These colours remind me, so much, of that hat. I feel like this is a more sophisticated version, albeit with the same clashing colours.

Rather than a hibiscus like the ones on my hat, the yellow orbs are more like Billy buttons. I like the addition of the black outline, and how it makes the yellow really stand out.

I think I’ll experiment further with outlines.
