Word Entry "The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket"

1) Then these wise child-artists, cutting out round, three-cornered, and lozenge leaf shapes in the cartoons, coloring each little window and different color, with circles and diamonds, red and green, made a single and who decorative pattern.(291)

2) My guess is that the word lozenge has something to do with the shape or color of the pattern because the rest of the sentence depits what the patterns look like and how the children are going about making them.

3) Definition- a figure with four equal sides and two acute and two obtuse angles. Ex: Diamond (Merriam Webster Dictionary)

4) Now I understand that the author is using this word to describe the shape of the pattern. The author is using this word to give a specific shape and design so the reader can picture what it all looks like.
