Flood fill white.
Copy and paste Green Curly as a new layer.

Move it up slightly on your canvas.
Copy and paste Glitterbulb 2 as a new layer.
Position it so that it in front of the curly ribbon - see my rag for reference.

Highlight the bulb above the ribbon and erase a small part of the topper to give it the effect as if the ribbon is curled through it.
