I think eyes would help - to distinguish the head from the ears.
Just my opinion!

Maybe a different color for the body, like a batik or a smaller print.

What about some embellishment/embroidery/stitching between the body & backing? Even blanket stitching would give some definition to the body.

Black would keep the monotone theme, bright would be fun too - match that to a bow??

I'd outline the body shape in dark satin stitch to give it a visual break from the background. Maybe add some eyes or eyelashes, too.

I think it is cute!!! It looks like the sheep is trying to come through a bush. Maybe a tree or some grass, then a bow in her hair.
I like her!
