G6, she's 6. I do see Shalach Monos, but I don't think she's yet in Purim mode. Truth is, I haven't asked her yet. I'll wait for others to respond and then ask her.

A princess in a heart - with a crown and a parrot in her left hand, and a purse or some pot of gold or the like in her right hand

I see the Shabbos Queen with her crown by her right hand and the shabbos table behind her with a window behind that. She is looking out through a heart shaped window for this Valentine's day which fell on shabbos. Even though it's not a Jewish holiday, the queen knows that all people are Hashem's children and wishes them well on their holiday of love.

To me it looks like a Tu B'Shvat basket because there are so many fruits.
It's such a cute picture!

Oooh, Elias, I like your interpretation!
I'll be asking the young lady later today what she had in mind.

Dora, I've eaten mugwort noodles, which are delicious. But your pancake does look a bit extreme. Hmm.

I see a bride on a stage. Probably not what she intended, but I'm going with it :).

I see a play being acted out on stage, with the pink being the curtains.

The artist has spoken:
The princess putting on a show. The castle is on the right, the blue X in a black box. The yellow on the left of the princess is her crown, with gems. On the right of the princess is juice.

It's inside a heart, because Jill the art teacher was using Jim Dine's painting of a heart as an example of how one can draw a heart without making it obviously a heart.

I see a heart, a girl, a parrot, a crown, grapes.

I agree with rambling woods.

and that's cool about the heart, I was wondering about that.
