                                                            This is cute snowman project that has some floating and stippling.  This is your snowman, so if you want to change the color of his vest, scarf or hat feel free to do so.  If you change, remember this will change the shading and highlighting colors also.  Check the DecoArt website to find the recommended shading and highlighting colors for your chosen changes.
