They give the portrait dignity while also making a reference to cherubs and gold leaf and heavenly ultramarine. That said, I also love the cheeks and the expression and the way (as(Heidi) mentioned) the background is an abstract continuation of the hair. It's original in a subtle way.

Dear Marina,
This is so exquisite and intellegently designed! Alex said what I wanted to say. The colors are dominant and hardly cutesy; almost a blue-white-and-red theme infused with gold and blond. The segway from blond hair to gold background curls is brilliant, and the intimate 10 inch scale is perfect! I love the careful fit and placement of this little girl's pose in the composition; this is just about perfection!
