I have made this pixel crib to welcome into the world my brand new Great Niece, 
Emily Ann Louise born on November 19 2004.

You can find a printer friendly version HERE

1.  Open a transparent canvas of 150 x 150 pixels.  Flood fill this layer with white and then create a second raster layer.  This is the layer we will be drawing on so make sure it is the active layer by clicking on it.

2.  Pick your  paintbrush and draw the outline of the crib top by following the  picture.
These are the colors that I used, but feel free to pick your own.

Pink: #FAAFFB    or   Blue: #B8E4E3
Legs: #BC9F48
Babies head: #F7C3A9

(The red numbers are for the shading sections)

3.  Pick your flood fill tool and making sure that the sample merged box is checked, fill in your cradle.

Pink: #FFEFFF    or   Blue: #EFFBFB
legs: #EEDA90
Babies head: #F9DCCE
