A paper costume parade brings two laughing girls along a sunny garden path. The younger child wears a pleated paper skirt in three broad tiers over leggings, with a folded collar and a large rosette at her waist. Blue curved lines travel across the cream paper. Her striped sleeves and braided hair keep the homemade costume rooted in ordinary outdoor play.

Beside her, the older girl wears a fringed paper vest over a floral dress and steadies a folded flower headband with one hand. Their exchanged glance gives the photograph its lively center. A blue garden pavilion, hanging paper decorations and flowering borders continue the craft theme behind them. The full-length view shows flat shoes, natural steps and the crisp folds that make each outfit different.
