Whimsical Crochet 'Reader' Applique

Create a transparent-background applique illustration of the text ‘Reader’ in large, bold, tightly-grouped letters, with a highly detailed, clearly visible crochet texture. Use mixed knit and quilted fabrics in soft pastels, with some letters featuring subtle leopard-print patterns. Add big, coquettish bows and decorative gold accents. Keep the style cute, boutique, and whimsical, emphasizing texture, depth, and high-detail hand-crafted charm rather than photorealism.
