Over the top

This delightful piece portrays a small dormouse curled up asleep inside the yellow petals of a daffodil. Beneath it lies a bottle of wine and a glass, suggesting overindulgence before the nap. The mouse s tiny form, tucked into the flower like a bed, is both adorable and comic, with the black background making the colours pop. It s a charming visual pun on the phrase over the top , suggesting both extravagance and comfort. The image resonates with themes of indulgence, rest, and whimsy, making it suitable for light-hearted cards or prints. Its warmth and humour lie in the exaggerated mix of nature and human habits.
