Arnold Is Fine

After much fretting I decided that Arnold needed to stand in a puddle of water.  So I added the puddle lines with stitching - and it looked sort of stupid because the puddle and the background were the same color.  So I painted the water a different color and then added a boundary line at the edge of the water with several lines of stitching.  I think that part works now.
But then I looked at his hand.  It needed something.  So red beads to match the border were the answer.  In my world Arnold is making a Wish and dropping Magic Red Jewels into the  Enchanted Wishing Pond!  I wonder what he is wishing?
