Prompt

An illustration of four figures sitting and standing, each built from simple cut paper shapes with no outlines: a rounded head, a rectangular body, two strokes for legs, blank faces. Loose organic blobs of flat colour sit around them as furniture and plants. Bold slightly clashing palette of mustard, teal, coral and navy on cream. Everything flat, no shading, shapes overlapping cleanly.
