img25 is a wallpaper included in Windows 7 as part of the Scenes theme. It was illustrated by freelance illustrator Pomme Chan, whom Microsoft found on agency 72 and Sunny.[1] It is a mixed-medium fresco depicting various animals, plants, and colorful motifs, filled in gradients of a watercolor-like texture. Multiple alternate versions were submitted to Microsoft by the artist, including ones with less elements, and one depicting a stylized tree[2].

Chan also designed the Windows Live Messenger 2011 and 2012 scene Watercolor, which features edited parts of img25 over a blue background.
