Cartoon Boy with Square Necklace

I need a clean, high-quality cartoon illustration of a young boy who is clearly cheerful—think bright eyes and a big grin. The key visual cue is a square-shaped necklace that should stand out without overpowering the rest of the design. Behind him, I want a patterned background rather than a plain color or an outdoor scene; feel free to get creative with geometric shapes, playful icons, or subtle textures that complement the palette you choose for the character.

Deliverables (all digital):
• A layered source file (AI or PSD) so I can tweak colors or scale elements later.
• A transparent-background PNG and a flattened JPEG, both at 300 dpi, sized for an 8×10-inch print.

Acceptance criteria:
– Clear cartoon style, no realism or abstraction.
– Boy is visibly happy and the square necklace is easy to spot.
– Patterned background is harmonious and not distracting.
– Final files match the specs above and show no stray artifacts when printed.

If you have any questions about colors, pose, or file formats, let me know—otherwise I’m excited to see your creative take on this brief!
