Flower Party Pattern

Hello ,
This have been a big project for me to take on. I mean I don't draw flowers and I've never used Illustrator to make an illustration before let alone make a pattern. I admit that I didn't expect this result not at all even my friends were surprised that I could make something like this. Also , I had loads of fun playing with it and with the colors.

Here is my process
Sketching : excuse the rough sketch.

Digitizing : Started tracing the sketch with the blob tool , I started with plane gray scale colors with some green . Then, I colored it before I started arranging the pattern. after trial and error in arrangement I ended up with what you see on the left .

Color palate : Let's just say I went a little crazy with colors and tried every palate I stumbled upon. I must say it is fun I wouldn't mind to play with the colors some more.
