Kirin Rosenbaum was so nice and offered to let me ghost her Oriental Garden item! And so of course I made and saved several variations of an avatar using this item before returning it to her ^_^ But here is the final one I decided to keep:
although I loved this one too:
Items:
And these were other variations that I tried:

At first, I just tried to replace the Storybook Journey background with Oriental Garden peeking in through the windows instead. But I didn't feel like I was doing this beautiful item justice. So, I removed the windows and made it an outdoors scene instead.

I love the pink Sacred Forest - Blossom Season tree, but removed it because it covered the Oriental Garden's pagoda.

It looked a bit plain with Oriental Garden's matching grey rock floor, so I opted for a green one from Marvelous Moustache Bros that matched the Oriental Garden's trees. And then it was a process of figuring out which Cessy's Tea Party tea kettle and tea cup color combinations matched best.

I finally decided on a red tea cup and an aqua blue tea kettle. I tried out a pretty event item, the Love Potion, which kind of looked like pink steam coming out of the kettle. But then I removed it since it didn't quite fit the color scheme. Then, it was just a matter of overflowing it with mischievous panders or keeping it just one :)

Thank you again, Kirin Rosenbaum:, for letting me ghost your Oriental Garden item!!! I really appreciate it <3
