Earth Day Crochet Doily

With Earth Day coming up, I thought of making some Earth Day Themed crochet projects. One of the great things I love about Crochet is that you can use your imagination to choose the Yarn Colors according to any occasion. Be it any Crochet Project, the color theme would surely make it suitable.
