Recoloring the Pet Beds

Now Press Ctrl + Shift + I (that's the letter i) to invert the selection. Your sprite will look like this:

The running ants now surround only the bed itself, meaning only the bed is selected and not the yellow.

Now here's the part that's just a tad difficult, depending on your eyesight. Zoom in with the tool that looks like a magnifying glass if you're having trouble seeing.

Select the Lasso tool:

Hold down your the Ctrl Key while doing this. Click anywhere on the border/edge of the bed's cushion and trace all the way around it going point to point with your lasso tool until you meet up where you started, and then double click to finish off the selection. The idea is to DE-select the cushion which is currently part of our selection.

When you are done, only your bed frame will be selected:
