This is the thumbnail for a #DoApick game, in which we choose which fashion dolls' shoe sets we will pick as a reward for good behavior after attending a funeral. You get to choose between Skipper, Francie, and Barbie shoes from 1972. The purple "Do a Pick" thumbnail has a yellow, blue, and green rainbow bouncing through the center of it, and the text reads "do a pick... shopping reward for good behavior." A cell phone is shown, and on the phone's screen, we see a set of Skipper shoes and vintage hangers.

The words "free pattern" are angled across a photo of a Topper Dawn doll wearing a pretty blue dress that has a floofy skirt of blue with floral cotton print pockets at the front of the dress, apron-style. Her bodice is made of the same floral print as her pockets. Her sleeves and wide collar are made of the same solid blue as her skirt. She wears burgundy colored flats. Her hair is long, straight, and black.

The Chelly Wood doll (a Spin Master Liv doll that has been re-designed to look like the real doll clothing designer, Chelly Wood) is seated at her desk in her office. The wall of the office is a mottled purple color behind her open laptop. The doll's fingers touch the keyboard which is resting on an extended arm of the desk. Her computer screen shows the ChellyWood.com "Share Your Creations" page with three doll clothes displays under the introductory text. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower left corner of the image.
