Animal Crossingfanshave plenty of opportunities for creativity within the game, especially with the release ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons.

Such is the case with Reddit user Raeobeart, who shared some of their latest creations with fellow fans on theAnimal Crossingsubreddit. The six gardens are made out of replacement Nintendo DS shells, with each featuring some of theAnimal Crossingseries' cutest villagers. Mabel, Molly, Marshal, Isabelle, Judy, and Dom are celebrated in the creative pieces of art. Each one stands on top of the DS' lower screen, surrounded by grasses and complimentary-colored flowers and succulent plants. While these were the only villagers demonstrated this time around, these are only the latestAnimal Crossinggardens created by Raeobeart, with other villagers having been featured previously.

Several fans expressed interest in buying one of the shown gardens, while others wondered if Raeobeart would be willing to create new ones based on their fellow villagers, to which Raeobeart encouraged them to reach out via private message. One also joked about how Isabelle towers over her fellow villagers.
