Sleepy Opossum in a Garden Nest

A little opossum curls up in the middle of tall, leafy plants. He closes his eyes and sinks into the softest nap, a smile spreading across his face as his paws rest on his round tummy. Wide, gentle ears tilt forward, and his tail curls like a striped spring below the flowers.

Bright lilies frame him on each side, their petals stretching out over his head and paws. Twisting vines wrap around the border and weave through the scene, making the opossum look extra cozy. Every flower and leaf stands ready to burst with your brightest colors.

Fun Fact!

Opossums are solitary, but during mating season, a male opossum will seek out a female opossum.
