Use "U" shaped lines to enclose the cloudlike greenery in each box. Use circle and "U" shaped lines to draw daisy-like flowers.
Then, use three straight lines to enclose a rectangle above each flower box. Use straight lines to enclose smaller rectangles at each corner of the window, leaving a cross shape in the center.
