This little motif has worked well within patterns the limited colour range helps to set the pattern in the 1950’s?  If I could I would like to see this pattern on curtains perhaps I can do some photoshop trickery will have to get my magic spell book out for that.

Grosgrain stripe effects have been added over the dark hat because I like the contrast and the fruity colours.

Last of all I have tried to create a modern and fun pattern ..this was a joy to colour I thought of happy things while listening to the radio.. I think that worked!
