Three young girls form the center of this mural. One is looking through a camcorder, one is looking forward with 3D glasses and one is sketching with one hand and holding a Polaroid to her eye in the other. They're resting on two blue whales. The background is pastel swirls. "Spread your magic" is written next to the girl with 3D glasses.
