You can repeat the step for the bunny making the following changes if you want a different color or duplicate and adjust color or colorize.
I’m giving the step for duplicating.
If you are repeating all the bunny steps, you will modify the tail and ears.

EARS
Click on ears layer on Layer Palette.
Image – Flip
Use Deformation Tool – Drag in place behind head.
Hold down Ctrl key and drag out bottom corner.

If you didn’t merge the inner ear to colorize, you will need to repeat the above step with that layer or airbrush.
Optional – I used the Eraser Tool to erase the point at the top on the head and ear layers.
I used Round – Size 40 – Opacity  & Density 100 – Step 20.
