A little drama goes a long way...
This design is an original closeup photograph of a leaf on a young coral plant. The plants have palmate leaves whose leaflets have notched edges. After a shift in color, the leaf looks reddish gold. The flower pots have become purple, all against a dark brown and green background.

Shake things up with abstract splatters...
This abstract design variation began as an original photograph of pine trees in bright sunlight. The branches, originally yellow green, are now red, purple and very light green. The bunches of pine needles form long streaks like splattered paint across the almost black color going deeper into the forest.

Back in (almost) black...
This abstract design began as an original photograph of a pine tree after a forest fire. The naked tree branches have been given a black and white texture, with yellows, greens, reds and blues mixed in. The sky background is a textured blend of black and purple, with tiny green and red circles scattered throughout.

High Street chic...
This design is an original photograph of a storefront window reflection. The black window and door frames, along with a palm tree trunk, give the photo a modern look. The mostly neutral tones are interrupted by a salmon pink color in a white window frame. There is also some gold lettering over the pink.

A touch of hot pink in natural green...
This design is an original photograph of a New Guinea impatiens plant, in bloom with hot pink flowers. The photo is a closeup showing parts of the bright pink flower petals, a flower bud in a more pale pink color, and the remains of an earlier bloom. The dark green leaves of the impatiens are long and pointed, with jagged edges against a warm light gray background. The design has a tapestry texture.

Cheery in red...
This design is an original photograph of a kalanchoe plant in bloom with red flowers. The overhead view shows the bright red petals against a pale, pastel tinted background, with a hint of green leaves and terracotta flower pot.

Soft and pretty in pink...
This design is an original closeup photograph of kalanchoe flowers. The tiny flowers are pale pink and white, with a pale yellow green color in their centers. Each flower has four petals curving outward against a dark green foliage background.
